Abstract:
Section 521 of ERISA, 29 U.S.C. 1151, provides that the Secretary of Labor may issue ex-parte cease and desist orders when it appears to the Secretary that the alleged conduct of a multiple employer welfare arrangement (MEWA) under section 3(40) of the Act, 29 U.S.C. 1002(40), is fraudulent, or creates an immediate danger to the public safety or welfare, or is causing or can be reasonably expected to cause significant, imminent, and irreparable public injury. Section 521(b) provides that a person that is adversely affected by the issuance of a cease and desist order may request an administrative hearing regarding the order. This information collection request describes the procedures before an administrative law judge (ALJ) when a person seeks an administrative hearing for review of such an order.
