Just a Minute! on Collaborating with EBRI on a New ERISA Study

November 22, 2024

The American Benefits Council recently collaborated with the Employee Benefit Research Institute (EBRI) on a study of the importance of ERISA preemption to the operation of employer-sponsored benefit plans. The report, ERISA at 50: No Midlife Crisis for ERISA Preemption, is based on insights from two focus groups of several senior benefits decision-makers at Council member companies.

In the latest episode of Just a Minute!, Council President James Klein explains why the findings from this study are especially important for the Council’s public policy advocacy, in light of the increasing threats to ERISA from state and local lawmaking.
