Timely ADA Issues for Employers
The ADA continues to evolve as one of the more complicated components of Human Resources made even more difficult for employers as a result of the pandemic. This webinar will analyze some of the difficult traditional areas of the ADA to administer, as well as some novel issues that only exist as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Speaker: Jeremy Hertz, JD
2020 ACA Reporting: Preparations for ALEs and Sponsors of Self-Insured Coverage
As employers begin preparing for another year of ACA reporting under Internal Revenue Code Sections 6055 and 6056, we will provide an overview of the reporting requirements, detail the mechanics of the reporting process, cover state-specific reporting requirements, and discuss IRS actions related to these obligations. This webinar is suitable for both experienced employers and employers new to the reporting process.
Speakers: Deborah Hyde, JD and Colleen Gole, JD
HR Considerations for 2021
2020 was a rollercoaster for employers and Human Resources departments as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. Heading into 2021 there are many issues both immediate and well into the future that will be impacted by the pandemic. However, traditional Human Resources initiatives and strategies are still just as important as they have ever been. This webinar will address both pandemic-related concerns heading into the New Year as well as more traditional initiatives that HR departments should be considering moving forward.

On October 12, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order on healthcare. The operative provisions of the order relate to association health plans (AHPs), short-term limited duration insurance (STLDI) and health reimbursement arrangements (HRAs). While the order does not have any immediate impact on existing law or regulations, it directs the federal regulatory agencies (the Departments of Treasury, Labor and Health and Human Services) to consider drafting new regulations that could ultimately have significant impact on health insurance markets.
So what does it all mean?
The 2016 general election has had its fair share of twists and turns. On the Democratic side, we witnessed a titanic clash in the form of the moderate Democratic candidate, Secretary Hillary Clinton, and the more left-leaning Sen. Bernie Sanders (D-Vt.). Meanwhile, the Republican camp quickly turned into an “anyone’s game” situation, out of which emerged one of the most unlikely dark horses in electoral history: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.
Regardless of who ends up in the Oval Office next January, this much is certain: there exists a multitude of dynamics that could result in seismic shifts within the US healthcare system.
In this white paper, we’ll look at the key policy issues that have potential to significantly shake up employer-sponsored insurance, and how the candidates have aligned themselves with each issue.
