About M.
Biography
At Song Mondress we represent single employer, multiemployer, and government benefit benefit plans. Those plans include retirement (pension, defined contribution, and 401(k)), health, cafeteria (including DCAP and FSA), education, life and disability, and executive compensation programs.
Our clients' plans range in size from several million in assets to more than $60 billion. Our clients range from nonprofits and governments to Fortune 50 companies.
We assist plan fiduciaries and sponsors with all issues that impact benefit plans, including tax, fiduciary/ERISA, HIPAA/privacy, disclosure, claims for benefits, DOL and IRS audits, litigation, and technical compliance. If a client has an issue involving an employee benefit plan or ERISA, we've likely seen it before.
