WEBINAR | SCOTUS Abortion Ruling: Considerations and Impacts for Employee Benefit Plans

Event Date: July 21, 2022

Date: July 21st
Time: 2PM-3PM CST
Presenters: Bob Radecki, Principal, Benefit Comply, LLC and Regan Debban, J.D. MBA, Principal, Benefit Comply, LLC

Employers have many questions about how the recent SCOTUS Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health ruling could impact benefit plans. The ruling, by itself, does not change anything specifically related to employee benefits. However, it opens the door for significant state legislation that may have an effect on some employer plans.

Some of the issues we will discuss include:

  • Differences between the possible effect on fully-insured vs. self-insured plans
  • Considerations related to offering a benefit to assist employees who travel to receive an abortion
  • When might ERISA preemption be a factor to consider
  • And more
