Frequently asked questions about employee benefits compliance.
The Employer Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), The Affordable Care Act (ACA), Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), Section 125 Cafeteria Plans, The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) and other state and federal laws and regulations are complex and under continuous change. Some businesses and organizations have robust human resources and legal teams who can manage compliance internally. Others don’t have the time or resources to keep up with all the details and reporting requirements. If you think you may be in the latter category, we suggest you talk to your local Highstreet agent about compliance options available to you.
By understanding the laws and regulations that govern your benefit plans, you can also better plan for upcoming legislative changes and evaluate potential modifications or enhancements of your current employment benefits. Your local Highstreet agent can help you determine if this applies to your current and future needs.
