Daily Document Update: HR Compliance Library, ¶46,018, EBSA FAQs direct participants in AHPs to contact their plan administrator for information - AGENCY GUIDANCE, (Apr. 8, 2019)

摘要

The Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has issued frequently asked questions to address issues that may arise in light of the federal district court’s decision invalidating the final rule on association health plans (AHPs). In the FAQs, the EBSA notes that participants in AHPs have a right to benefits as provided by the plan or policy, and that health insurance issuers must keep their promises in accordance with the policies in place and pay valid claims. However, AHPs may have to modify their structure or operations going forward, and EBSA recommends that participants contact their AHP plan administrator directly about changes that the AHP may make in the future.
