In her retirement security newsletter for plan participants, Borzi said the EBSA offers consumer-focused FAQs that explain the new rules for disclosures about 401(k) services and investment fees. In addition, the agency has a publication, A Look at 401(K) Plan Fees, which includes explanations of various fees and charges and a checklist participants can use to review plan fees.
