2020 Benefits Symposium | Addressing Issues in the New Normal

This complimentary series of engaging and informative courses that will address the most significant issues on which employers should focus with respect to the maintenance and governance of employee benefit plans and how COVID-19 affects workplace benefits. We kick off the series on August 25, 2020, with our first session entitled, “How to Avoid Exposure to COVID-related Benefit Liabilities and Prepare for Open Enrollment.”

Employers may feel like their health and welfare plans are in disarray after a busy summer of sweeping new relief, furloughs, and staggered re-hirings. For this first session, join Anne Sanchez LaWer and D. Finn Pressly as they help you identify and tackle your year-end benefit tasks in light of this year’s enormous challenges, including:

• What to do about COBRA premium arrearages
• COBRA notice compliance and the risk of COBRA notice class actions
• Updating your plan documents for required and permitted COVID-related changes
• Getting your plan data ready for ACA reporting
• Keeping an eye on benefits for employees who are still furloughed
• Tips for updating vendor agreements
