Generally, the applicable distribution rules (including ERISAand HIPAA) require that these notices be either hand delivered or sent via US mail unless your employees meet the DOL’selectronic delivery requirements or you have a signed authorization from the recipient consenting to receive the notices electronically. If you have questions about the information provided in these documents, please contact us at (330)540-8732 or pconstantine@briobenefits.com.Please note that these materials are intended to be educational and informational.
