The team will outline questions where some guidance may exist and questions that will require further clarification from the Departments.<\/p>\n<p>Topics covered will include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Potential notice requirements<\/li>\n<li>Whether plan sponsors can increase employee contributions in<br \/>\nresponse to the new requirement<\/li>\n<li>Claim payment timelines<\/li>\n<li>What ambiguities still exist?<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Attend &amp; Earn 1.0 SHRM Credit<\/h3>\n<p>Presented by the Brown &amp; Brown Regulatory &amp; Legislative Strategy Group.<\/p>\n<h3><a href=\"https:\/\/hayscompanies.zoom.us\/webinar\/register\/WN_CbsZ6LHTTPO1OGGiP7_TfA\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">REGISTER HERE<\/a><\/h3>\n<hr \/>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: bold; font-style: italic; font-size: 10.0pt; background: white;\">DISCLAIMER:<\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-size: 11.0pt; background: white;\">\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-style: italic; font-size: 9.0pt; background: white;\">Brown &amp; Brown, Inc. and all its affiliates, do not provide legal, regulatory or tax guidance, or advice.
