Employee Benefits Legislative Update - Orland Park

This workshop will provide recent developments relative to HSAs, Section 125, HRAs, and Employer-Sponsored Wellness Programs. Taxability of Wellness Incentive Programs to employees has moved into question lately; therefore, an emphasis will be placed on implementing a program that is compliant. If you are contemplating changes for this open enrollment season, then you should attend this workshop.

We will review the procedures for rolling money from a health FSA, HRA, and IRA into an HSA. A discussion on the latest developments effective in 2008/2009 for both employer and employee contributions including answers to common questions and concerns from those who deal with HSA's will be shared with attendees.

Some important topics to be covered at this workshop include:

• IRS Notice 2008-51, 52, 59 relative to HSA's
• Proposed regulations relative to cafeteria plans
• Tax Relief and Health Care Act
• Final EEOC regulations relative to Retiree Medical
