ERISA requires plans to provide participants with information about plan features and funding; sets standards of conduct for plan fiduciaries; and gives participants the right to sue for benefits and breaches of fiduciary duty. ERISA also provides for the establishment of the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation, which insures the benefits of participants in certain defined benefit pension plans.
