Understanding COVID-19-Related Employee Benefit Plan Pitfalls and Opportunities This timely webinar will address the employee benefit provisions buried within the CARES Act and other fiduciary issues that employers should consider.

Topics will include: • CARES Act changes to the tax qualified retirement plan rules and health and welfare plan rules. • Potential ERISA liability and litigation risk related to investment options under 401(k) plans. • The impact of furloughs and layoffs on employee benefit plans. • Suspending matching contributions, and other related economic considerations on employee benefit plans Greg Daugherty from Porter Wright will help those involved with their organizations’ employee benefits administration and compliance manage the response to COVID-19 with respect to these plans.
