The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) issued final regulations providing standards for retirement plans, employee benefit plans, and individual retirement plans to use electronic media to provide notices to participants. The regulations allow participants to make plan elections and file consents using electronic media. The regulations, codified in Treasury Regulations 1.401(a)-21, became effective October 20, 2006, and apply to electronic notices and elections made after 2006.
These regulations apply to a wide range of plans, including qualified plans under Internal Revenue Code (Code) §§ 401(a), 403(a), 403(b); Code § 457(b) government plans; and Code §§ 408A and 408(q) individual retirement plans. Unlike the 2005 proposed regulations, the final regulations apply to employee benefit programs such as Code § 223 health savings accounts, Code § 125 cafeteria plans, and accident and health plans under Code §§ 104(a)(3) or 105.
Under the rules, notices and elections that are required to be in writing are permitted to use electronic means. These include Code § 204(h) reduction in future accrual notices, Code § 402(f) rollover rights notices, Code § 411(a)(11) benefit commencement rights notices, and Code § 417(a)(2) spousal consents. The Department of Labor (DOL) and the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation (PBGC) have separate regulations dealing with electronic delivery of notices under their jurisdiction, such as Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) rights notices, notices of benefit suspensions, summary plan descriptions (SPDs), and summary annual reports.
The IRS regulations permit two methods for the electronic distribution of notices. Under the first method, the participant must consent to the electronic delivery. Before consent, however, the participant must receive a disclosure statement describing the scope of the consent, the participant’s right to withdraw consent, the hardware and software required to access the electronic media, and procedures for updating the participant’s current contact information. The second method requires that the participant must be “effectively able” to access the electronic medium used to provide the notice and must be advised that he or she may request and receive a paper version of the notice at no charge.
The regulations contain general provisions, such as requiring that the electronic notice alert the participant to the significance of the information, be at least as understandable as a paper notice, provide instruction on access, and be in a form that can be retained and reproduced for later reference. The electronic notice must be provided in a timely manner and include the same information that would have been provided in a paper notice.
The IRS has issued Revenue Procedure 2006-41 to update earlier guidance on deductible business expenses for lodging, meals, and incidentals while traveling away from home. Code § 274 generally requires substantiation for any of these expenses to be deductible but allows a taxpayer to avoid some of the substantiation requirements if the expenses do not exceed an amount prescribed by regulation. This revenue procedure may be used in those circumstances where an employer provides the employee with a per diem allowance. The updated procedure applies to expenses paid after September 30, 2006. The procedure establishes a per diem rate of $246 for travel to any of the “high-cost localities” located in 14 states and $148 for travel to other locations. The meal expense daily allowance is $58 for the high-cost localities and $45 for other locations. The revenue procedure, published October 23, 2006, may be used by employers, employees, and their tax accountants in determining the extent of deductible expenses for employers, itemized deductions that may be claimed by employees, and the portion of any excess amounts paid to employees that is reportable as W-2 compensation income.
DOL guidance on health savings accounts: Are HSAs subject to ERISA?
The DOL has issued further guidance for employers who establish or contribute to health savings accounts (HSAs) for their employees. Guidance issued in 2004 through Field Assistance Bulletin (FAB) 2004-01 provides rules under which an employer may select a single HSA provider in establishing these arrangements.
The FAB instructs employers to ensure that employee HSA contributions are promptly remitted to the HSA provider and indicates that employers may not receive discounts on other products offered from an HSA vendor selected by the employer.
In our view, most employers would be well advised to avoid any activity that could cause an HSA to be subject to ERISA. Following the guidance outlined in the FABs ensures an employer that the DOL will not bring an enforcement action against the employer for failure to file an annual report (5500), provide an SPD, or comply with COBRA in connection with the HSA. This exemption does not apply to any related high-deductible health plan otherwise subject to ERISA.
An employee participating in the 401(k) plan sponsored by Alliant Techsystems, Inc. (Alliant) filled out a new beneficiary designation form in 2002 in which he named his former stepdaughter, Tracy, as his primary beneficiary. The new beneficiary designation was intended to replace an existing beneficiary designation that had named the employee’s mother, Rose, as the primary beneficiary. When the employee filled out the new beneficiary designation form, he failed to fill in information requested on the form that identified the relationship between Tracy and himself. The form was returned to the employee so that the missing information could be filled in. The employee died before the completed form was ever filed with the plan administrator, but there were telephone communications between the employee and the plan administrator in which he confirmed his wish to name Tracy as his beneficiary. Following the employee’s death, Tracy and Rose submitted competing claims for the death benefit payable under the 401(k) plan. Alliant initially ruled in favor of Tracy’s claim on the basis that the employee’s failure to fill in the relationship line was “not a material omission” and that the plan was “on notice” of the employee’s relationship to Tracy from two prior beneficiary designations. The matter ended up in the courts, and a federal district court found in favor of Rose. The federal appeals court reversed the district court’s ruling and concluded that Alliant did not abuse its discretion in determining that the employee’s 2002 beneficiary designation was valid. Accordingly, Tracy was found to be the rightful beneficiary of the employee’s 401(k) account, absent a showing by Rose proving that the employee lacked capacity when he executed the change of beneficiary form or that the form was the product of undue influence by Tracy.

Submitted on Motion to Dismiss April 30, 1923.
Mr. Charles A. Houts, of St. Louis, Mo., for appellant.
Messrs. Lawrence C. Kingsland and John D. Rippey, both of St. Louis, Mo., for appellees.
On May 10, 1917, the appellee Lamar Lyndon brought suit in the circuit court of the city of St. Louis, Mo., against the appellant, the Wagner Electric Manufacturing Company, to recover royalties on a patent owned by Lyndon, alleged to be due under a contract between the parties. A trial before a jury was had, in which evidence was introduced by both sides, and at the close of all the evidence, the court directed a verdict for the plaintiff, and judgment followed for $12,029.50. The Wagner Company appealed from this judgment to the Supreme Court of Missouri, where it was duly assigned for hearing to Division No. 1 of that court under a provision of the Constitution of Missouri that the Supreme Court shall consist of seven judges and shall be divided into two divisions, one to consist of four judges, known as Division No. 1, a majority thereof to constitute a quorum, and its judgments as to causes and matters before it to have the force and effect of law. On January 21st, the appeal was argued before three of the judges of Division No. 1, and printed arguments were filed by both parties. Judgment was subsequently rendered by the four judges (Lyndon v. Wagner Electric Mfg. Co., 285 Mo. 77, 225 S. W. 711), the opinion being written and filed, with the concurrence of the other three judges, by Judge Woodson, of the Division. Judge Woodson had not heard the oral argument. The Wagner Company filed a motion for rehearing, and a motion to transfer the cause to the court in banc, which were denied.
The Wagner Company then applied to this court for a writ of certiorari to review the judgment of the Missouri Supreme Court, which was denied in April, 1921. Wagner v. Lyndon, 256 U. S. 690, 41 Sup. Ct. 449, 65 L. Ed. 1173. Thereafter, on a mandate from the Supreme Court of Missouri, the state circuit court issued execution against the Wagner Company on the judgment. The sheriff made a levy on the real property of the Wagner Company, which filed a bill in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri, against Lyndon and the sheriff, seeking an injunction against their proceeding with the execution. Application for a preliminary injunction on this bill was denied by the District Court. The Wagner Company then paid the judgment and costs, amounting to $15,015.29, to the sheriff, and at once brought the present bill in the United States District Court against Lyndon and the sheriff, seeking to hold the sheriff as trustee in his custody of the fund, and to enjoin him from paying the money to Lyndon, and Lyndon from receiving it. The jurisdiction was asserted on the ground that the case was one arising under the Constitution of the United States. The District Court heard the case and dismissed the bill. The Wagner Company then appealed to the Circuit Court of Appeals, which affirmed the decree of the District Court. 282 Fed. 219.
The grounds urged in behalf of the relief sought in the District Court, the Circuit Court of Appeals, and this court were, first, that the action of the circuit court of St. Louis, in directing a verdict for plaintiff without evidence to warrant such action, deprived the defendant, the Wagner Company, of its property without due process of law and denied it the equal protection of the laws; second, that the action of Division No. 1 of the Missouri Supreme Court in hearing the case on appeal with three judges and allowing a fourth, who did not hear the oral argument, to take part in the decision and write the opinion, and the refusal of Division No. 1 of the Supreme Court of Missouri to transfer the cause to be heard by the Supreme Court in banc, as required by the law of Missouri when a federal question is involved, deprived the Wagner Company of its property without due process of law and denied it the equal protection of the laws.
Defendant Lyndon moved to dismiss the complaint because the court was without jurisdiction, there being no substantial federal question, and because the bill sought an injunction to stay proceedings in a state court contrary to section 265 of the Judicial Code (Comp. St. § 1242). The District Court dismissed the bill on the first ground. No other questions were presented to the District Court. The only appeal from its decision allowed by law was therefore to this court under section 238 (Comp. St. § 1215), on the ground that the sole issues involved were those involving the application or construction of the Constitution or the jurisdiction of the District Court. American Sugar Refining Co. v. New Orleans. 181 U. S. 277-281, 21 Sup. Ct. 646, 45 L. Ed. 859; Huguley Mfg. Co. v. Galeton Cotton Mills, 184 U. S. 290, 295, 22 Sup. Ct. 452, 46 L. Ed. 546; Union & Planters' Bank v. Memphis, 189 U. S. 71, 73, 23 Sup. Ct. 604, 47 L. Ed. 712; Vicksburg v. Vicksburg Waterworks Co., 202 U. S. 453, 458, 26 Sup. Ct. 660, 50 L. Ed. 1102, 6 Ann. Cas. 253; Carolina Glass Co. v. South Carolina, 240 U. S. 305, 318, 36 Sup. Ct. 293, 60 L. Ed. 658; Raton Water Works Co. v. City of Raton, 249 U. S. 552, 553, 39 Sup. Ct. 384, 63 L. Ed. 768. Such a case could not be taken to the Circuit Court of Appeals, and, except for legislation enacted by Congress September 14, 1922, it would have been the duty of that court to dismiss it for want of jurisdiction. Except for that legislation, it would now be our duty to reverse the decree of that court, with direction to dismiss the appeal. The Asses ors v. Osborne, 9 Wall. 567, 575, 19 L. Ed. 748; Mansfield, etc., R. R. Co. v. Swan, 111 U. S. 379, 388, 389, 4 Sup. Ct. 510, 28 L. Ed. 462; Blacklock v. Small, 127 U. S. 96, 105, 8 Sup. Ct. 1096, 32 L. Ed. 70; Union & Planters' Bank v. Memphis, 189 U. S. 71, 73, 23 Sup. Ct. 604, 47 L. Ed. 712; Carolina Glass Co. v. South Carolina, 240 U. S. 305, 318, 36 Sup. Ct. 293, 60 L. Ed. 658. The Carlo Poma, 255 U. S. 219, 220, 221, 41 Sup. Ct. 309, 65 L. Ed. 594.
The legislation of September 14, 1922, referred to (42 Stat. 837, c. 305), provides that, if an appeal or writ of error has been or shall be taken to, or issued out of, any Circuit Court of Appeals in a case wherein such appeal or writ of error should have been taken to, or issued out of, the Supreme Court, such appeal or writ of error shall not for such reason be dismissed, but shall be transferred to the proper court, where it shall be disposed of as if the appeal or writ of error had been properly taken.
The decree of affirmance in the Circuit Court of Appeals was entered on July 7, 1922, but a petition for rehearing was filed, and that petition was not denied until September 18, 1922, or four days after the passage of the foregoing act. Before the decree of affirmance became finally the act of the Circuit Court of Appeals, this law came into force, and, however that may be, it is in force now to govern us in the direction which we, in reversing the decree of affirmance, should give to that court. That direction should be to transfer the case to this court, to which it should have been brought by direct appeal from the District Court, under section 238 of the Judicial Code.
The only grounds urged by the appellant for a reversal of the decree dismissing the bill of complaint are frivolous and without merit. The first involves the proposition that in a collateral attack upon the validity of a judgment in a state court, a federal court can examine the evidence to see whether a direction by the court to a jury to find a verdict was justified by the evidence. This would be to make such an attack serve the purpose of a writ of error. More than this, even if it were held that the direction deprived the defendant of the right of trial by jury (a holding shown to be erroneous by Treat Manufacturing Co. v. Standard Co., 157 U. S. 674, 15 Sup. Ct. 718, 39 L. Ed. 853), still the deprivation of a right of trial by jury in a state court does not deny the parties due process of law under the federal Constitution (Walker v. Sauvinet, 92 U. S. 90, 23 L. Ed. 678; Missouri v. Lewis, 101 U. S. 22, 31, 25 L. Ed. 989; Twining v. New Jersey, 211 U. S. 78, 110, 111, 29 Sup. Ct. 14, 53 L. Ed. 97; Minneapolis & St. Louis R. R. Co. v. Bombolis, 241 U. S. 211, 217, 36 Sup. Ct. 595, 60 L. Ed. 961, L. R. A. 1917A, 86, Ann. Cas. 1916E, 505). The second ground is equally unsubstantial. The machinery for review of the judgments of courts of first instance is wholly within the control of the state Legislature Missouri v. Lewis, 101 U. S. 22, 30, 25 L. Ed. 989—and when the review by four judges is given, and an opinion is rendered by three of them, constituting the quorum, the mere fact that the fourth did not hear the oral argument, but wrote the opinion on the printed arguments, is at most an irregularity, which does not in the slightest degree affect the validity of the judgment. The contention that Wagner was entitled under the Missouri constitution to have the cause heard before a full court, because a federal question was involved, is wholly without merit, because the question of the right to transfer was a question of Missouri law, upon which we are bound to accept the decision of the Missouri courts. Missouri v. Lewis, 101 U. S. 22, 25 L. Ed. 989.
An objection to allowing damages in the present case suggesting itself is that the decree appealed from was not a money judgment. It is true that this whole litigation in the federal jurisdiction has been initiated and carried on solely to secure the delay of the payment of a money judgment in the state court, but that is hardly within the exact terms of the twenty-third rule. Sections 1010 and 1012, Revised Statutes, are, however, not so restrictive, and they give this court power to impose just damages upon the affirmance of any judgment or decree, for delay. Gibbs v. Diekma, 131 U. S. Appendix clxxxvi.
The case should be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction, because the grounds of appeal are frivolous. In a dismissal on this ground a penalty may be imposed, just as if upon an affirmance. Deming v. Carlisle Packing Co., 226 U. S. 102, 109, 33 Sup. Ct. 80, 57 L. Ed. 140.
We think that damages of $1,500 for delay are not excessive in this case. We therefore direct the dismissal of the appeal, with damages of $1,500 and the taxation of costs as upon an affirmance of the decree of the District Court.
