The Department of Labor (DOL) wants to let employer health plans switch you to email-only for legally required notices about your coverage, claims and appeals. The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) wants to let banks, brokers and Wall Street send your retirement, investment and account statements electronically by default — without your consent. 

These developments are concerning because the proposed rules would take away revenue from printers and print resellers whose customers produce financial and/or health plan documents. If the proposals pass, it would drive mail volume down and decrease revenue for the U.S. Postal Service, a key delivery channel for the printing industry. 

Millions of Americans rely on paper because it’s more accessible, easier to retain, safer from phishing and fraud, or simply how they prefer to receive information. 

We need your help. Ask Congress to encourage both agencies (DOL and SEC) to preserve strong consumer protections and printed paper as the default. 

Your message will be delivered to the following:

• Congress: Your Representatives in the House and Senate
• Keith Sonderling, Acting Secretary of Labor
• Russell Vought, Director, Office of Management and Budget (OMB)
• Paul Atkins, Chairman, SEC
• Hester Peirce, Commissioner, SEC
• Mark Uyeda, Commissioner, SEC

Thank you for standing up for print!
