This online workshop will provide practical knowledge and up-to-date information on legal and tax compliance issues for health and welfare plans during the merger and acquisition (M&A) process. Plan administrators and human resources professionals need to be prepared to meet all ERISA and IRS requirements for their health and welfare plans as well as handle transitions of coverage. In this training, instructors Sherrie Boutwell and Katrina Veldkamp will lead attendees through critical issues, including types of M&A transactions and their impact on health and welfare benefits, due diligence issues, purchase agreement considerations and post-closing transitions. Attendees will learn about substantive issues and new developments that impact health and welfare plans, including the Affordable Care Act, Mental Health Parity and Addiction Equity Act compliance, transparency in coverage requirements under the CAA, cafeteria plans, COBRA, keeping tax-favored status and more.
