Odds & Ends
What are the ERISA rules?
Please be aware that, depending on your circumstances and the product(s) you select, your group benefits plan may be subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”).
You should consult your tax and legal advisors regarding the applicability of ERISA to any arrangements addressed in this material. New York Life, its subsidiaries, agents, and employees do not provide legal, tax, or ERISA advice.
The tax consequences of benefits paid under this policy may depend on whether the employee pays for the coverage and to what extent the coverage is paid for on a pre- or post-tax basis, among other factors. Certain requirements apply to coverage offered under “cafeteria plans” subject to IRS sec. 125, including minimum eligibility and participation requirements. You should discuss with your tax advisor the consequences of buying this policy, including whether premium payments are deductible, the taxability of benefits; and whether you have met all applicable tax requirements. New York Life Insurance Company, its employees, agents, and affiliates cannot provide tax advice.
