Complying with the many rules that govern health and welfare benefits can be a challenge for benefits administrators. EPIC has prepared this compliance checklist to help administrators manage their 2018 benefits compliance efforts. Please note that this checklist may not cover every requirement applicable to a specific employee benefit plan. This list focuses on key federal requirements affecting most health and welfare plans and is subject to legislative or regulatory changes. Additional requirements, or exceptions, may apply under state insurance laws which vary from state to state. Administrators should also remember that the Affordable Care Act (ACA) remains in full effect despite widely publicized efforts to repeal and replace it.
