Employee Benefits Legislative and Administrative Update

Largely in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, Congress enacted both the Consolidated Appropriations Act (CAA) and the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). In this webinar, Vorys attorneys Jennifer Dunsizer, Linda Mendel, Dawne McKenna Parrish and Christine Poth discuss the employee benefit plan related provisions of both the CAA and ARPA. Many of these benefit provisions were aimed at providing relief or flexibility to employers with regard to their employee benefit plans. The agencies responsible for enforcing these provisions have also issued guidance on how to implement some of these provisions. This webinar provides overviews of the new ARPA COBRA subsidies, Flexible Spending Account Relief, outbreak period extensions, defined benefit funding relief and important deadlines.
