Background

About Eric Schillinger

I concentrate my practice in health and welfare employee benefit plan compliance, including health care, life insurance, disability, fringe, and other employer-provided benefits. I have extensive experience in helping employers comply with the various federal and state laws applicable to those plans, such as the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), ERISA, the Internal Revenue Code, the Public Health Service Act, HIPAA, COBRA, FMLA, and Medicare. As part of my practice, I assists clients with drafting plan and trust documents, amendments, SPDs, and other required disclosures for such plans; handling employer and plan audits by the IRS, DOL, EEOC, and other governmental agencies; analyzing employee benefit issues relating to all aspects of plan design and funding, such as the use of Voluntary Employees’ Beneficiary Associations (VEBAs) and plan restructuring that results from mergers, acquisitions, and other corporate transactions; preparing government agency filings; analyzing plan administrative, fiduciary, and tax issues; and reviewing and negotiating service provider agreements. I have authored and been quoted in ACA- and benefits-related articles in a variety of publications, including Law360.com, Bloomberg Law, Wolters Kluwer Health Law Daily, the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM®), BenefitsPRO, Federal Employment Law Insider, HRDive, HRHero, Business and Legal Resources (BLR®) and the Daily Journal.
