NEW BENEFIT REGULATIONS
SEMINARS
HRBenefits Authority - Live is a series of seminars focused on health care reform. On March 23, 2010, President Obama signed into law the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. On March 30th, the President signed the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010, which amended the March 23rd Act. Together, these two acts are referred to as "PPACA".
We have divided the PPACA into sections and will discuss each of these sections with all of our clients in a series of seminars entitled HRBenefits Authority - Live. Our seminar invitations and materials can be found below:

Each year, new employee benefit laws, regulations, opinions, and guidance statements are introduced.
