New from Practical Law Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation! A collection of the top Health and Welfare Plan resources we added or significantly updated during Q4 2015.
We are constantly expanding and updating our Health and Welfare Plan resources to reflect the latest developments in employee benefits law. This list reflects some of the most important Health and Welfare Plan resources we added or substantially revised during Q4 2015:
ACA Information Reporting: Employee Statements. This new resource, also part of our companion series on ACA information reporting, addresses the requirement that large employers provide Forms 1095-C to employees.
COBRA Overview. We substantially updated this practice note to reflect recent updates impacting COBRA compliance, including changes involving the reinstated health coverage tax credit under the Trade Preferences Extension Act of 2015 (TPEA).
Independent Contractor Classification. Working with our Labor & Employment colleagues, we updated this resource to address full-time employee compliance considerations under the ACA, including the employer mandate, and to discuss benefits-related consequences of worker misclassification.
