Employers that receive rebates should consider their legal options prior to distributing any rebate dollars. Any rebate amount that qualifies as an ERISA plan asset must be utilized for the exclusive purpose of providing benefits to the plans’ participants and beneficiaries. Any rebate dollars that are received by the employer plan sponsor which are attributable to plan assets (e.g., participant contribution activities) must be distributed pro-rata to the underlying plan participants via one of several approved methodologies within 90-days of receipt; otherwise, these rebate dollars may trigger ERISA’s trust requirements.
