SRZ Attorneys Analyze Impact of Affordable Care Act on Multiemployer Plans

Despite its limited mention of multiemployer plans, the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act raises a multitude of issues unique to these plans. From different rules applying to grandfathered and non-grandfathered health plans to provisions applying to all plans regardless of date of existence, such as the annual limit requirement and W-2 reporting of coverage values, multiemployer group health plans have much to plan for and many uncertainties to navigate as they comply with the new rules. In “Health Care Reform Legislation and Its Impact on Multiemployer Funds and Beyond,” published by LexisNexis in The Regulation of Compensation: Proceedings of the New York University 66th Annual Conference on Labor, SRZ partner Mark E. Brossman and associate Melissa J. Sandak analyze the new rules for these plans, as well as provisions relating to HHS’s Early Retiree Reinsurance Program, the small business health care tax credit, and the impact of health care reform in years to come.
