2017 Employee Benefits Update Seminar Information

Seminar Topics

It was seven years ago that the ACA became law and created a great deal of concern and uncertainty for those of us sponsoring and managing benefit plans. And when this year began we heard loud and clear that the Trump Administration and Republican Congress were going to get the ACA repealed and replaced. Alas, that didn’t turn out so well for the administration and the ACA remains the law of the land, but …

• President Trump isn’t so willing to concede defeat and continues to push Congressional Republicans to make a deal. Is this possible with such division in Congress and within the Republican party?
• What changes to the ACA are still being considered and what changes can realistically be made?
  • Will HSAs be expanded?
  • What about changes to the tax deductibility of employer paid premiums?
• Even if Congress fails to pass any changes, what changes might we expect from the regulatory agencies?
• With the ACA in effect for the foreseeable future, what employer related ACA rules should we be thinking about?

• What other trends are we seeing on the horizon?

These and many more questions will be addressed at our Spring Benefits Seminar as we tackle the issues challenging employers and their benefit plans and bring you up to date on the latest developments in Washington and our local marketplace.
