Rising health care costs and the Obama administration's priority in reforming the health care system make benefits program administration ever more complex and time-consuming. Moreover, the risks associated with noncompliance result in significant government penalties and costly litigation fees. Examine strategies for staying compliant with the changing political landscape. Topics include:

* The Department of Defense Appropriations Act of 2010, which includes an extension of the COBRA subsidy that was originally introduced under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 ("ARRA")
* ARRA Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) increased penalties and business associate obligations
* Health Care Reform Update
