summary: This proposed rule sets forth a new, additional safe harbor for group health
  plan administrators to use electronic media (e.g., email or web portal) to furnish
  documents and information to participants and beneficiaries of plans subject to
  the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). This proposal, if finalized,
  would allow plan administrators who satisfy specified conditions to provide participants
  and beneficiaries with a notice that certain disclosures will be made available
  electronically on a website. Individuals who prefer to receive these disclosures
  on paper will be able to request paper copies and to opt out of electronic delivery
  entirely. The Department expects that the proposal, if finalized, would improve
  the effectiveness of the disclosures and significantly reduce the costs and burden
  to group health plans associated with furnishing many of the recurring disclosures.
