- Discuss which health care reform mandates and HIPAA portability rules retiree-only coverage is exempted from
- Discuss whether retirees that are included in a health plan covering active employees can be treated differently than active employees (such as different contributions and benefits), and the nondiscrimination rules that should be taken into account
- Discuss the effect of offering retiree coverage on an employer’s COBRA obligations
- Discuss how the Medicare Secondary Payer (MSP) rules and Age Discrimination in Employment Act (ADEA) apply to retirees in contrast with individuals with current employment status
- Provide a brief overview of reporting obligations retiree-only plans must comply with including 1094/1095 reporting, Form 5500, Summary Annual Report (SAR), and Section 111 MSP reporting
