The Employee Benefits & Executive Compensation Interest Group focuses on the rules governing health and other welfare benefit plans with particular emphasis on HIPAA, COBRA, Medicare Secondary Payor rules, and ERISA Title I rules, as well as executive compensation issues. The Interest Group examines the special problems that not-for-profit employers in the health care industry have in providing employee benefits to their employees. In addition, the Interest Group considers the application of ERISA concepts to various forms of managed health care, the impact of state health care initiatives on employer-sponsored health plans, and the ramifications of alternative workforces on an employer's benefit plans. The Interest Group also participates in all activities of the ABA's Joint Committee of Employee Benefits, including the annual question and answer session with the federal government agencies regulating employee benefits.
In addition, as a member of this Interest Group, you can participate in substantive discussions through our List Serve. This electronic mailing list is one of the most useful means of communication, since it enables our members to instantly transmit or receive information and opinions on matters of common interest. To send a message to our members or to start a discussion on any employee benefits or executive compensation topic, send an email to HL-EMP-BENEFITS@MAIL.AMERICANBAR.ORG.
