Health care reform efforts have not only impacted nearly every area of health care law, but also many other areas of importance including employee benefits.  The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act requires significant changes in the way in which employers provide health care coverage for employees.  In this session, explore the recently released regulations, compliance requirements, tax and reporting provisions.  Also, get up-to-date information about flexible spending and health reimbursement arrangements.

ERISA is sometimes used to refer to the full body of laws regulating employee benefit plans, which are found mainly in the Internal Revenue Code and ERISA itself. Practice in this area is not for the fainthearted. There is a myriad of rules, regulations, and pitfalls for the unwary and unsuspecting practitioner. This seminar will be helpful to attorneys who work or are planning to work in the area of employee health, disability, and other types of benefit plans that are governed by the ERISA.  This seminar will cover: 1. Introduction to ERISA;  2. How one gets paid under the ERISA statute; and 3. Remedies allowed under ERISA.
