Albers' Compliance Webinar| Legal Requirements of Voluntary Insurance Programs
Many employers offer voluntary insurance products to their employees. As employee benefits, these programs may need to meet the requirements of a number of laws, including the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) and the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA).
Join us for this 75-minute intermediate level webinar to explore:
- The benefits of these programs to employers and employees
- When ERISA applies and how to fall within an available safe harbor
- When PPACA applies to voluntary benefits
- How and when reporting requirements and fees apply to these benefits
- How the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), and state laws apply to voluntary benefits
