As you are now well aware, COVID-19 has turned the world upside down—quarantine, schools on a spring break that never ends, telecommuting, event cancelations, restaurant closures and rampant anxiety. In an effort to curb the economic repercussions, the Federal Reserve has stepped in, and in March 2020 President Trump signed H.R. 6201, known as the Families First Coronavirus Response Act and HR. 748, known as the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act or CARES Act.
What Does This Mean For You?
While we can't help you source toilet paper or hand sanitizer, we can help you understand the impact of COVID-19 on employee benefits with free legal advice.
You're invited to a town hall-style webinar series that will keep you apprised on coronavirus-related employee benefits topics including furlough and leave management, HIPAA, the Families First Coronavirus Response Act, the CARES Act and more. Like all our welfare benefits legal advice, you'll receive practical, actionable guidance.
Join us each Tuesday morning by webinar, hosted by Bloomberg Law contributor and our very own Chief ERISA Geek David LeFevre.
