Health Benefits Education Campaign

The Health Benefits Education Campaign (HBEC) is designed to educate participants about their rights and responsibilities under ERISA and to provide compliance assistance to health plan sponsors and their service providers.

Participant Education and Assistance

Health Benefits Advisor

This interactive website is designed to help workers and their families understand group health benefits and the laws that govern them, especially when they experience changes in their life and work situations, such as marriage, childbirth, job loss or retirement.

Consumer Health Publications

Health care coverage is one of your most important benefits. Learning how your plan works and what laws protect you is the first step to becoming an educated health benefits consumer. These publications will assist you. To order copies of these and other publications, call EBSA toll-free at 1-866-444-3272.


Compliance Assistance

Health Benefits Advisor

This interactive website assists employers in understanding and complying with the applicable laws.

Seminars and Webcasts

The Department of Labor's Employee Benefits Security Administration sponsors compliance assistance seminars and webcasts designed to provide plan sponsors practical information, helpful tips, and clarification regarding state and federal health benefits laws to help them properly administer their plans. These seminars and web casts are free and open on a first come first served basis. In addition to DOL, speakers from State Insurance Departments, the Internal Revenue Service, the Department of Health and Human Services, the Wage and Hour Division, and the Veterans’ Employment and Training Service participate and answer questions.

Why You Should Attend These Seminars

If you are an employer who is trying to comply with federal and state laws regarding your health plan, this is your chance to talk to both federal and state regulators at the same time, in the same place. If you are a third party administrator or a carrier who has questions about new laws and issues, this is your opportunity to ask the experts.
