Several pieces of guidance and related documents have been released over the past two years regarding an employer's ability to pay for individual health policies through a cafeteria plan. These include 2015 guidance from the IRS; a 2014 FAQ from the U.S. Department of Treasury and the Department of Labor (DOL); and IRS Notice 2013-54.

Employers who have been in violation of this guidance are currently covered under safe harbor, but this will end June 30, 2015. This deadline gives employers a short period of time to enroll their eligible employees in a compliant group health insurance plan.

Click here to read more, but note, that if you currently offer a group medical plan through the SCDA to your employees, your group plan IS compliant with the Affordable Care Act (ACA), so no further action is needed on your part. This only applies to employers who may be assisting with premium payments for an employee's individual policy through the individual market. If the latter applies, you will want to speak with your tax consultant at your earliest convenience.

How Early Orthodontic Treatment can Improve the Overall Health of the Patient

Officite is proud to present this CE-Credit Webinar on the treatment of children's malocclusions during mixed dentition.

In addition to causing social anxiety and hindering personality development, some malocclusions may also have substantially negative long-term consequences.
