The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) is the only national association that advocates exclusively for large employers on health, retirement, and compensation public policies at the federal, state, and local levels.

ERIC is not a government agency. ERIC does not provide advice on personal matters or matters relating to individual disputes. For such matters, you may wish to seek advice from a legal counsel, an accountant, an actuary, or contact the U.S. Department of Labor Employee Benefits Security Administration (866) 444-3272.
