What is an IEP? An IEP is an Individualized Education Program for children who qualify for special education services by their local public school district. It is not an Individual Education Plan. Why isnât it a Plan? As the old saying goes, âplans are made to be broken!â A program on the other hand must be followed!!
ERISA Plan The Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) of 1974 establishes minimum standards for retirement, health, and other welfare benefit plans, including life insurance, disability insurance, and apprenticeship plans.
Prior to ERISA's enactment in 1974, the U.S. Department of Labor started regulating employee benefit plans when the Welfare and Pension Plans Disclosure Act (WPPDA) came about in 1959. The WPPDA required employers to make plan descriptions and annual financial reports available to the government and plan participants.
