Even though it seems as if the world may have stopped during the last two years, there continue to be changes in the employee benefits space, especially in the health and welfare plan arena.  Liz and Ben will discuss legal developments that impact your plans.  Topics to be covered include:

  • Recent guidance on mental health parity
  • Welfare plan compensation disclosure rules
  • ESG investing
  • The SECURE Act (I and II)
  • DOL cybersecurity guidance
  • Case law updates and other COVID-related guidance

The focus of the 2022 Spring Seminar is to provide benefits professionals with tools, knowledge and new ideas to help pension and benefits plan participants. This year’s Spring Seminar will continue to offer key industry updates necessary to stay current as benefits professionals. The luncheon speaker is Kendra Kosko Isaacson, Senior Benefits Counsel for the US Senate HELP Committee. She will "kick off" the afternoon session with a lively "WA DC Legislative Update".
