Benefits Compliance COVID-19 Weekly Update and FAQs

NFP’s Benefits Compliance team will address the impact of COVID-19, starting with the recently enacted Families First Coronavirus Response Act (FFCRA). FFCRA includes new emergency paid sick leave requirements, expanded FMLA protections, and mandated COVID-19-related health insurance coverage requirements. We will also address COVID-19-related scenarios employers are now facing, including: 1) situations relating to benefit plan eligibility and coverage during a furlough, layoff or reduction in hours; 2) plan document and SPD issues; 3) ACA issues (including measurement and stability periods during a furlough/layoff); 4) COBRA responsibility and timing; 5) HDHP/HSA interaction with COVID-19 mandated coverage; 6) state issues (such as mandates on coverage, expansion of paid family and medical leave protections, and delayed filing requirements); and 7) HIPAA and other privacy issues.
