ERISA & Disability – Time to Update Your Plans!

Disability Management Employer Coalition [DMEC]

Many employers haven’t taken a comprehensive look at their ERISA‑covered disability plans in years—often relying on legacy design decisions that no longer align with today’s workforce, health and wellness program objectives, or administrative realities. As benefit strategies evolve, ERISA continues to shape how disability plans are structured, communicated, and administered within employer‑sponsored programs.

In this session, Alight’s ERISA experts will help you step back and re‑evaluate your ERISA disability plan design, focusing on key components to consider when creating, updating, or modernizing plans. Rather than concentrating solely on claims and appeals, we’ll look upstream at plan architecture and emerging design trends across leave programs. Attendees will gain a practical framework for assessing whether their current plans still support health and wellness goals—or whether it’s time for a refresh.
