These programs pick up where our recent statewide series of briefings left off. The new seminars were developed in response to requests we have received for "one more session" to fill in regulatory and administrative blanks as compliance dates rapidly approach. But we will go beyond simply filling in those blanks - we will provide you with a reference binder full of information plus practical insight and tools designed to help you conduct analysis and make plans for your organization:

Program Content:

1. Informational Segment – a "final" update on the employer's role as we approach the July 1st implementation of the law :

• Section 125 Plans (must be implemented by July 1, 2007 by employers of 11 or more)
• Health Insurance Responsibility Disclosure (HIRD) – process and forms
• Fair Share Contribution
• Free Rider Surcharge
• For insured group plans:
• Expanded dependent eligibility
• Offer of coverage and nondiscrimination in premium contribution
• "Minimum creditable coverage" and "affordability" issues
• Sub-Connector update – what we know about the collection and remittance of pre-tax deductions for non-employer-sponsored health insurance plans

2. Workshop Segment – you will receive your own Health Care Reform Reference Guide binder – designed by AIM, with you in mind, containing:

• Copies of all applicable regulations and insurance bulletins
• AIM's plain-language "Fact Sheets" with key points from the law and the regulations
• Checklists that take you step-by-step through compliance procedures and decision-making processes
• Detailed information on key compliance calculations, including the tests for Fair Share Contribution compliance
• A model Section 125 Premium Only Plan
• A useful calendar to help you gather information and plan next step
• Model communications to employees
• Sources for additional information

The Workshops will be conducted by AIM staff and will allow time for your practical questions. AIM's involvement in government affairs, combined with our HR and management expertise, uniquely positions us to provide up-to-date information and insight as the law continues to evolve.

Registrations will be limited due to the interactive workshop format of this class.
