Domestic Partners and Employee Benefits-Practical Advice for Cafeteria Plans and Health Plans (Including Health FSAs and HRAs) Training Seminar
As more states require benefits for domestic partners or same-sex spouses, and as more employers voluntarily extend such benefits, more questions arise for benefits professionals and plan service providers. And employers that don't wish to extend such benefits also need guidance on what they might be required to do and what they can refuse to do. EBIA can help!
Join us for this 90-minute web seminar with our experts, who will help employers and plan service providers distinguish between what's required and what's permitted, and who will offer practical advice on dealing with the tax and administrative issues raised by domestic partner or same-sex spouse benefits.
Here's some of what we'll cover:- If state law mandates rights for domestic partners, do cafeteria plans and health plans have to comply? Why does it matter whether a health plan is insured or self-funded?
- Why are the plan's definitions of the terms "spouse" and "dependent" so important?
- What's the effect of the federal Defense of Marriage Act?
- When can a health FSA or HRA reimburse the medical expenses of an employee's domestic partner?
- What are the tax consequences of providing benefits to domestic partners?
- What kind of certification of domestic partner status should a cafeteria plan or health plan require?
- What policies, procedures, and forms should a cafeteria plan or health plan have in place to make administration of domestic partner benefits easier?
- Are mid-year changes to cafeteria plan elections permitted for the establishment or dissolution of a domestic partnership or same-sex marriage?
- How do COBRA and HIPAA apply to domestic partner benefits?
