BI’s Article search uses Boolean search capabilities. If you are not familiar with these principles, here are some quick tips.

To search specifically for more than one word, put the search term in quotation marks. For example, “workers compensation”. This will limit your search to that combination of words.

To search for a combination of terms, use quotations and the & symbol. For example, “hurricane” & “loss”.

New life for cash balance plans?

Experts to discuss changes in market during BI webinar

Reprints

Cash balance plans once were the fastest growing type of pension plan design until several lawsuits alleged that the design discriminated against older employees. However, recent federal pension reform legislation and a court ruling involving IBM Corp.'s cash balance plan rebut those claims of age bias, affirming the legitimacy of these plans.

Business Insurance invites readers to register for "Cash Balance Plans: Back on the Table," a free online panel discussion on Oct. 17 that will explore these new developments and what they mean for employers.
