CENTENNIAL, CO, March 15, 2009
/24-7PressRelease/ -- Benefits Selling Expo 2009, hosted by Benefits Selling, announced that a new session, entitled How to Recover from the Economic Recovery Act, has been added to the lineup.
Benefits Selling Expo, in its fifth year, features three days of educational sessions that provide benefits brokers and agents the sales and marketing information to sell more group, voluntary, and retirement products, as well as networking opportunities and a packed exhibit hall. Benefits Selling Expo will be held April 1-3 in Austin.
The new session focuses on the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan, which mandates government-funded COBRA premium assistance equal to 65 percent of the cost to qualified beneficiaries. These complex new rules affect brokers nationwide. This session will take a closer look at the subsidy breakdown, new reporting requirements, funding requirements, required changes and implementation issues. This session also will cover HIPAA changes, the transit increase and health information technology reform. Industry experts Sharon Alt and Eric Johnson will present this session on Wednesday, April 1 and Thursday, April 2 at Benefits Selling Expo.
"This session couldn't be more timely - or more relevant," said Denis Storey, editor of Benefits Selling. "We're all worried enough about where the industry is headed and we owe it to our attendees to offer the first critical look at how this historic legislation changes the playing field."
