Certified Employee Benefit Specialist (CEBS)
professional designation conferred by the International Foundation of Employee Benefit Plans and the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania. In addition to professional business experience in employee benefits, recipients must pass national examinations in pensions, Social Security, other retirement related plans, health insurance, economics, finance, labor relations, group insurance, and other employee benefit related plans. This program responds to the information requirements of individuals responsible for the operation of an employee benefit plan department in large and medium size businesses. (It has been estimated that for every dollar of salary an additional 40 cents is paid to cover employee benefits.)
