Many insurance agents are unable to explain what Fiduciary Liability insurance is and why coverage from Employee Benefits Liability insurance is usually inadequate.
Do you need a Fiduciary Liability policy? If you provide your employees with benefit plans, you have an exposure. If you feel you are adequately covered because you have an ERISA bond, you have a significant gap in coverage. Both ERISA bonds and Fiduciary Liability were created because of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA), but each provides entirely different and essential insurance coverage.
Fiduciary Liability provides for mistakes made by an employer in the administration and management of employee benefits plans, including retirement and pension plans. Employers are vulnerable to lawsuits of many kinds under this area of liability exposure, and properly written policies will protect your organization as well as the trustees.
Apart from the intuitive areas of exposure related to Fiduciary Liability, certain sections of ERISA create other unusual areas of exposure:
Section 409 of ERISA “Liability for Breach of Fiduciary Duty,” is the section of ERISA that imposes personal liability on any person who breaches those duties.
Section 406 “Prohibited Transactions,” lists what you cannot do as a plan fiduciary:
Section 502(a) “Civil Enforcement,”details the authority of the United States Department of Labor to investigate and bring civil lawsuits for violations of ERISA. The DOL has greater enforcement rights than participants and beneficiaries.
Be sure you have a broker that understands the unique exposures of Fiduciary Liability so your program will be properly structured to protect your organization and the trustees.
