Employer-Sponsored Benefit Plans That Provide Healthcare Benefits Must Comply with the Employee

Employer-sponsored benefit plans that provide healthcare benefits must comply with the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) . One of the most significant features of ERISA is that it:

A) contains a provision stating that the terms of ERISA generally take precedence over any state laws that regulate employee welfare benefit plans
B) standardizes the conversion of group healthcare benefits to individual healthcare benefits
C) mandates that self-funded healthcare plans must pay state premium taxes
D) requires that all active employees, regardless of age, must be eligible for coverage under employer-sponsored benefit plans
