The teleconference will discuss whether
HRAs can be used to reduce health insurance costs for small
businesses and review the technical requirements for HRAs.
This expert panel will also explore the new Treasury action
on cash balance plans and whether the cash balance plan is
a desirable plan design for closely held businesses. They
will answer questions such as:
- How does an HRA mesh with a company's existing health
insurance?
- Do the HRA rules work for small businesses?
- How does an HRA mesh with a cafeteria plan?
|
- How does a cash balance defined benefit plan work?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages of a cash
balance defined benefit plan?
- Are cash balance plans getting IRS determination
letters now?
