SUMMARY:USDOL Retirement Plan Compliance Education Seminar -8/3/23
DESCRIPTION:U.S. Department of Labor\n\nGetting It Right   Know Your Fiduciary Responsibilities\n\nA Retirement Plan Compliance Assistance Seminar for Small Business\n\nBuffalo\, NY   August 3\, 2023\n\nREGISTER HERE\n\n \n\nStrong fiduciary oversight and protecting workers' benefits is one of the highest priorities of the U.S. Department of Labor.  The best way to protect workers' benefits is by preventing problems before they start.  Our compliance assistance program   Getting It Right: Know Your Fiduciary Responsibilities   will increase awareness and understanding about basic fiduciary responsibilities when operating a retirement plan.  \n\nGetting it right\, however\, can be challenging.  This is especially true for small- and medium-sized employers who have limited time\, resources\, and access to professional help with benefit programs.\n\nSpecifically\, getting it right means:\n\n	Understanding your plan and your responsibilities\n	Carefully selecting and monitoring service providers\n	Making contributions on time\n	Avoiding prohibited transactions\; and\n	Making appropriate disclosures to plan participants and filing annual reports to the government on time\n\nOur program combines free seminars around the country\, educational materials\, and a dedicated page on EBSA's website.  With the valuable participation of our partners\, Getting It Right will offer a helping hand to those who want to do the right thing.  View or download the agenda here.\n\nWe hope you will join us at this upcoming FREE seminar.  Helping fiduciaries to get it right benefits us all.  Registration will be on a first come first served basis\, so please register as soon as possible.\n\n \n\nAGENDA\n\n \n\n8:30 - 9:00 am         Registration & Sign In\n\n9:00 - 9:30 am         Welcome   U.S. Department of Labor & partners\n\n9:30 - 10:30 am       Fiduciary Responsibility   U.S. Department of Labor\n\n10:30 - 10:45 am     BREAK\n\n10:45 - 12:30 pm     Fiduciary Responsibility (continued)\n\n12:30 - 1:30 pm       LUNCH (on your own)\n\n1:30 - 2:00 pm         Question and Answer Session\n\n2:00 - 3:00 pm         Reporting and Disclosure   U.S. Department of Labor\n\n3:00 - 3:15 pm         BREAK\n\n3:15 - 4:15 pm         Common Mistakes & IRS Correction Programs   Internal Revenue Service\n\n4:15 - 4:45 pm         DOL Voluntary Correction Program   U.S. Department of Labor\n\n4:45 - 5:00 pm         Question and Answer Session\n\n \n\n \n\nSEMINAR LOCATION\n\n       \n\nBuffalo State University\, Bulger Communication Center\n\n1300 Elmwood Avenue\n\nBuffalo\, NY 14222\n\nGoogle map | Campus map with parking (PDF) | Getting here\n\n \n\n \n\nSEMINAR PARTNERS\n\n \n\n	Society for Human Resource Management\n	National Federation of Independent Business\n	U.S. Small Business Administration\n	American Institute of Certified Public Accountants\n\n \n\nCooperation does not constitute or imply an endorsement by the government of any product or service of the private sector partners.\n\n \n\n \n\nCOVID-19 FEDERAL EVENT INFORMATION\n\n \n\nCDC has changed how it will track COVID-19 levels\, and will now use COVID-19 hospital admission levels.
