Coverage: Related Employers, Mergers and Acquisitions

Wednesday, February 16, 2022

2:00 PM to 3:40 PM PST

The Presentation

Designing, testing and administering plans for related employers generates numerous questions. Employers and practitioners frequently ask the questions such as: Can we design the plan this way? Can we have these features? Can we have multiple plans? The answers almost always revolve around coverage. Therefore, understanding how the coverage rules apply to related employers is a critical skill. Related employers also are involved with mergers and acquisitions that present their own set of coverage questions. In this webcast, we will address these important and difficult questions.

• Testing Multiple Plans
• Aggregation and Disaggregation
• Coverage Rules for Mergers and Acquisitions
• Retroactive Corrective Amendments
