    Benefits Buyer's Remorse: Compliance Reality Check

    Ever have employees come to you in January already regretting their benefit elections?

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.
