Key Points

  • This bill requires the Employee Benefit Security Administration to send a report to Congress every year detailing its investigations into workplace benefit plans, such as 401(k)s and health insurance.
  • The report must include which office started the investigation, when it began, and when the agency first asked the company for documents.
  • If an investigation lasts longer than three years, the agency must explain to Congress why it is taking so long and provide an estimated date for when it will be finished.
  • To protect the privacy of businesses and workers, the public reports will not include the names of specific companies, employees, or plan managers.
  • This change is intended to make the government more accountable for how quickly it handles cases and to ensure that investigations into employee benefits do not drag on indefinitely without explanation.
