• Providing an overview of notices that employers should provide to employees during open enrollment, such as the Medicare creditable coverage disclosure
• Describing the requirements for electronic delivery of participant materials
• Explaining the differences between making a change to the plan as part of open enrollment versus making a change to the plan mid-year
• Describing how applicable large employers would offer coverage when they use the look-back measurement method
• Describing general updates that employers should make to plan documents and handbooks before the start of the year
• Briefly describing the types of non-discrimination testing that employers should perform before the start of the plan year
• Describing open enrollment best practices
