Legal compliance for Web enrollment

[Guest AliciaD]

We are considering web enrollment for FSA's and benefits enrollment. What are the main legal compliance issues involved?

I cannot address legal issues. Best to contact an ERISA attorney for that.

However, there might already be some information on this website. First idea is to look at all Q&A's in this particular message board. Another source of information might be to search the entire website. For example, http://www.benefitslink.com/links/20000321...21-004773.shtml

Might be some vendors to talk to also, such as http://www.btabta.com. (I have no experience with this vendor.)

In general, software vendors might be able to provide some info: http://www.benefitslink.com/software.shtml

There is no requirement in Section 125 that the enrollment process must be done in a paper format. Many companies use internet or telephonic systems to enroll their flex plans. Theonly problem we have encountered is with certain insurance companies inability to accept electronic enrollment.
