NEEBC’s annual Washington Update has become something of an institution. Each year we highlight the newest laws, regulations, policy initiatives and other trends affecting employee benefit plans. But 2022 is unique. Few years have offered such a wide variety of interesting and important topics to benefits professionals everywhere:

•  The 2022 mid-term elections and its benefits-related consequences; 

• The nation is feeling the aftershocks of the Dobbs decision, which has employers scrambling to consider abortion-related travel benefits;

• We are all still shaking off the effects of the COVID pandemic, which has raised a host of benefits-related issues (mental health and long-COVID for starters);

• DOL's guidance on cybersecurity keeps employers up at night;

• Transparency that recent legislation requires has unleashed a hoard of new regulations; and

• Congress is considering the new, retirement-plan-related SECURE 2.0 legislation.

This year’s program will cover all of these topic and more.
