2009 is quickly coming to a close and health and welfare plan sponsors should address several recent legal developments and ongoing compliance requirements before year-end. In particular, calendar year plans should be amended (and SPDs updated) to reflect the new requirements that will be effective January 1, 2010, including Michelle's Law, expanded mental health parity requirements and GINA. Plan Sponsors should also ensure that plan changes needed for CHIPRA and the COBRA subsidy are implemented and documented. More summary details about these and other legal developments are in the chart below. Following the chart, we provide some reminders about some ongoing compliance requirements, as well as key health and welfare developments to watch for in the coming months.
