With health care reform looming and big recent developments in COBRA and HIPAA, it’s been hard to keep up with this year’s many other compliance changes. Let EBIA help you sort through all the most important health and welfare plan developments. In this fast-paced 90-minute web seminar, we’ll survey the new rules including effective dates, what’s required, who must comply, and how the changes impact plan design and administration for 2010 and beyond.

Originally presented on December 3, 2009.
