We're teaming up with the Kentucky Department of Insurance to bring you practical information, helpful tips, and clarification regarding state and federal health benefits laws through a two-day, in-person seminar in Louisville, Kentucky on August 6 & 7. If you are an employer that's working to comply with federal and Kentucky state laws regarding your health plan, this is your chance to talk to both federal and state regulators at the same time, in the same place. If you are a third-party administrator or a carrier who has questions about new laws and issues, this is your opportunity to ask the experts! The seminar is part of our Health Benefits Education Campaign to assist small- to mid-size employers, third-party administrators and insurers in complying with the Affordable Care Act, COBRA, the fiduciary responsibility provisions in the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA), Mental Health Parity and Addition Equity Act (MHPAEA), No Surprises Act, as well as the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). This seminar is FREE and open to the public. Registration will be on a first come first served basis, so please register as soon as possible.

America's nuclear energy workers paid a very high price for their contributions to the atomic weapons industry. Today, we remember the service and sacrifice of those members of our Armed Forces who were exposed to radioactive material at home or abroad — our "atomic veterans." Our Office of Workers’ Compensation Programs remains committed to recognizing and supporting nuclear weapons workers. Learn more about this work at dol.gov/EnergyProgram.
