Which plans need to be amended for Michelle's Law

[katieinny]

I understand that Michelle's Law applies to Health Flexible Spending Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements, but I think it must apply to Premium Only Plans, too. And is the deadline to get these amendments done 12/31/09 (for calendar year plans)? I sure hope not.

Actually, I don't think Michelle's Law would apply to a POP plan. There is no health benefit provided by the POP plan itself (it provides a tax break), understanding that Health benefits may be provided THROUGH the POP plan.

Thanks, Jackmo. I was beginning to think that there was nobody out there. Normally, I try to get answers from other sources, but I wasn't having much luck with this one.
