June 16, 2010 (PLANSPONSOR.com) – The U.S. Department of Labor’s Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) is offering a free workshop for employee benefit plan professionals, including clients of plan service providers.
Reported by PLANSPONSOR staff
EBSA said the session will be June 24, at Nova Southeastern University, H. Wayne Huizenga School of Business and Entrepreneurship, Carl Desantis Building, 3301 College Ave., Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
The day-long workshop will begin at 8:30 a.m. EDT and will include presentations on what to expect from an EBSA investigation and a review of the latest health plan issues, including the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) and the premium reduction benefits associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

A brief update on the electronic filing system–EFAST2–will be included in the presentations.
