Effective January 6, 2016, we have updated our underlying Plan Document and SPD in Wrap–TightSM with the following changes:
- Refined definition of spouse to reflect Supreme Court ruling
- Updated Cafeteria Plan funding reference in Exhibit/Appendix A
- Included additional “Look-back” options

These improvements or changes Do Not Require immediate distribution to your employees. We recommend you update your Plan Document and SPD annually with changes to general information about the employer, plan and/or benefit coverages. At the same time, the above improvements will be automatically incorporated when you update.
Your Wrap-Tightsm renewal subscription helps you maintain ERISA compliant plan documents, minimizing problems with the Department of Labor and legal liability to plan participants.
