[Official Guidance] Jan. 8, 2018
"[The DOL] announced [on January 5] its decision for April 1, 2018, as the applicability date for employee benefit plans to comply with a final rule under [ERISA] that will give America's workers new procedural protections when dealing with plan fiduciaries and insurance providers who deny their claims for disability benefits.... The Department received approximately 200 comment letters ... The information provided in the comments did not establish that the final rule imposes unnecessary regulatory burdens or significantly impairs workers' access to disability insurance benefits."
