The Department of Labor (DOL) published a proposed rule on July 23, 2026 that would make it
easier for the plan sponsors and administrators of group health plans to furnish required notices
electronically. The proposal creates a new electronic disclosure safe harbor for group health
plans and is intended to reduce administrative burden and mailing costs while expanding digital
access to plan information.

Learning Objectives:
>> How the proposed rule fits in with the DOL’s existing guidance regarding electronic delivery.
>> Plans and disclosures that are covered under the new proposed rule.
>> Learn who qualifies as a “covered individual.”
>> Learn the requirements for posting covered disclosures on a website.
