2009 is quickly coming to a close, and health and welfare plan sponsors should address several recent legal developments and ongoing compliance requirements before the year's end. In particular, calendar year plans should be amended (and summary plan descriptions updated) to reflect the new requirements that will be effective Jan. 1, 2010, including Michelle’s Law, expanded mental health parity requirements and [the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act]. Plan Sponsors should also ensure that plan changes needed for [Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act] and the COBRA subsidy are implemented and documented. The law firm of DrinkerBiddle has created an easy chart that highlights the major compliance changes in 2010 and provides guidance on actions that employers need to take. View the table chart . . . .
