The Internal Revenue Service and the Department of Labor have issued a number of announcements and guidance since our last update in February 2007 that may impact your employee benefit plans.

• Department of Labor Compliance issues, including:
  ▫ Safe harbor for employer contributions to 401(k) Plan;
  ▫ Fiduciary liability concerns over investment fees
   · what additional information employers must disclose  to participants;
   · Qualified Default Investment Alternatives (QDIA);
   · 401(k) lawsuits on fees.
