The Magic Words
Reprinted from Benefits Law Journal Spring 2010, Volume 23, Number 1, pages 80-90, with permission from Aspen Publishers, Inc., Wolters Kluwer Law & Business, New York, NY, www.aspenpublishers.com.

Witches hunched over flame-licked cauldrons whispering scary sounds into a boiling mist - they are not the only characters who invoke the power of "magic words."

The everyday world of employee benefits is no different.
