  • New York, NY (1888PressRelease) September 02, 2011 - BACKGROUND
    New York became the sixth state in the nation to legally allow same-gender marriage. This legislation once again has focused attention on same-gender relationships and the employee benefit plan issues and challenges that employers must confront.

    ABOUT THE WEBINAR
    The Webinar will be a one-hour focused review of the important design, cost and administrative matters that will result from the assimilation of same-gender relationships:

    •The impact of key federal laws and regulations with respect to same-gender health & welfare and retirement plan benefits.
    •Plans affected by state laws such as New York's Marriage Equality Act and the interrelationship between state and federal legislation.
    •COBRA and state continuation requirements, HIPAA special enrollment rights, extending coverage to young adults under the Affordable Care Act and other state-mandates, as well as tax and payroll considerations such as when and how to impute income.
    •Strategic planning and action steps for plan sponsors.
