Congressional budget conferees face a December 13 deadline to finalize recommendations for a budget agreement for fiscal year 2014 (which started October 1), but skepticism runs high that the conferees will be able to reach an agreement. Congress needs to act by January 15, 2014, when the temporary extension in current funding for the government expires. An increase in PBGC premiums is rumored to be part of the discussions, possibly as a way to partially offset the sequestration cuts, tax extenders, or the so-called “doc fix.”
The Obama Administration continues to work on improving the federal exchange online-registration system, the Department of Health and Human Services issued proposed regulations on risk adjustments, reinsurance, and risk corridors under the ACA, while ERIC recently testified before an IRS hearing on the ACA reporting requirements. Meanwhile, the U.S. Supreme Court announced that it will hear challenges to the requirement that employers must provide contraceptive coverage as part of the preventive services mandate under the ACA.
Join us on Monday, December 9 to hear from ERIC's Health and Retirement experts for an update on these and other legislative, regulatory, and legal developments.
