    Benefits Buyer's Remorse: Compliance Reality Check

    Ever have employees come to you in January already regretting their benefit elections? In this episode of Comply on the Fly, Karen breaks down the very real phenomenon of benefits buyer’s remorse—when employees realize that low premiums can mean higher out-of-pocket costs and suddenly want a do-over. From Section 125 qualifying events (and what doesn’t count) to mid-year plan changes, self-funded vs. fully insured flexibility, and why “I don’t like this plan” isn’t a compliance strategy, this episode explains what employers can—and can’t—do once coverage is in effect. A timely reminder that strong open enrollment education can prevent a lot of January regret. ____________________ Please note: This podcast and the contents herein do not constitute legal advice.

    Avoiding Common Missteps in 2025 ACA Reporting

    ACA reporting hasn’t gotten simpler—it’s gotten quieter and more nuanced. Between changes to how 1095-Cs are distributed, increased reliance on accurate measurement methods, and growing complexity in hybrid plan designs, small missteps now carry bigger consequences. This latest Comply on the Fly episode focuses on the judgment calls employers are actually making in 2025—not just the deadlines—so you can avoid avoidable errors and reduce last-minute stress. Karen also unpacks one of the most misunderstood updates: the shift away from automatically distributing 1095-Cs—and what “clear, conspicuous, and accessible” really means when employees request their forms. If ACA reporting feels more complex each year, this episode explains why—and how a proactive approach throughout the year can make compliance far less painful when deadlines hit. ____________________ Please note: This podcast and the contents herein do not constitute legal advice.
