DOL Audits of Health Plans

[Flyboyjohn]

ACA provided substantial funding to DOL to audit (they say "investigate") group health plans for ACA compliance and there is anecdotal evidence that a few audits may have occurred.

If anybody has experienced a recent audit would you mind posting a copy of the initial DOL letter and attached list of required documents (with employer information redacted of course)?

Thanks! Anyone know of anything similar with regard to a Welfare benefit plan or Section 125
Plan?

I would be really curious to know if there were active Section 125 plan audits. I've only seen a little bit of chatter on them (generally on old threads), so I assume they aren't very likely to happen.
