Legal Requirements of Voluntary Insurance Programs

February 10, 2015 2:00 p.m. ET / 11:00 a.m. PT

 

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 COBRA, HIPAA, FMLA, and state laws apply to voluntary benefits.

The presentation slides will be posted on the UBA website the day before the webinar.
