Washington, D.C., February 11, 2025 –Today, The ERISA Industry Committee (ERIC) sent a letter to Congressional leaders outlining the organization’s position on key policy issues affecting large employer member companies that voluntarily provide health, retirement, and other benefits to workers and families across the country. The letter is timely as Congress considers instructions to individual committees as part of the budget reconciliation process. The statement below is attributable to James Gelfand, President & CEO of ERIC.
“ERIC and our member companies are committed to meaningfully improving benefits for workers, their families, and retirees. While the budget reconciliation process focuses on several policy areas, it is an opportunity to take a holistic look at the larger landscape and consider what is working well, what could be improved, and to identify areas for overall savings. As Congress moves through the reconciliation process, ERIC is ready to be a resource to lawmakers and staff as they navigate how policies affect employers and employees who come to work every day in cities and towns across the country.”
