The proposal would create a new program to help workers better understand and access the health insurance and other benefits their employers offer through employee benefit plans. This program would provide assistance to workers who struggle to navigate complex benefit options or need help filing claims and resolving disputes with their insurance plans. The change would affect millions of American workers and their families who rely on employer-sponsored health coverage.
