Right now the proposed rules have been pulled back by the Biden Administration and are being reviewed. Most experts anticipate we will see similar rules come forward again soon, but there is a chance they could be changed. It’s important to be aware of the proposed rules, but experts don’t recommend making any program design changes based on them just yet. We’ll continue to monitor the situation and bring you the most up-to-date information as the rules are finalized, and how they’ll affect your organization’s wellness plan.
Please see the attached Alera Legal Alert for more detailed information about these proposed rules, keeping in mind that they may be later amended:
