The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (Public Law No. 111-149) as amended by the Health Care and Education Reconciliation Act of 2010 (Public Law No. 111-152) signed into law on March 23, 2010 and March 30, 2010, respectively (the “Affordable Care Act”) significantly impacts virtually every individual and business. The Affordable Care Act is complex and various new rules become effective at different times over a period of eight years.

- Analysis of Recently Released Regulations
- Key Compliance Requirements and Effective Dates
- Grandfathered Health Plans
- Dependent Coverage of Children Up to Age 26
