"Following passage of CAA21, it dawned on Congress that dependent care FSA balances in 2021 would be very, very high, and come tax time in April 2022, employees would be in for quite a shock when they realized that they would have to pay income tax on upwards of $5,000 in dependent care expenses they thought would be tax-free.... ARPA was designed to solve a problem caused by CAA21; it was not designed to expand dependent care FSA benefits."

"For 2018 only, employers can retroactively amend their leave policies to match the technical requirements of Code section 45S.... For 2019, the policy changes must be in place before the leave is taken. That means employers must amend their leave policies by December 31, 2018, in order to properly claim the tax credit for both 2018 and 2019."

"For 2018 only, employers can retroactively amend their leave policies to match the technical requirements of Code section 45S. Bad news: For 2019, the policy changes must be in place before the leave is taken. That means employers must amend their leave policies by December 31, 2018, in order to properly claim the tax credit for both 2018 and 2019."

"If an employer provides paid FMLA leave to full-time employees but not to part-time employees, it is totally ineligible for the tax credit, and it cannot claim a tax credit even for paid leave it provides its full-time employees.... The number of weeks of paid FMLA leave to which part-time employees must be entitled is proportionate to the number of weeks the employer provides to full-time employees using expected hours per week as the prorating factor."

"If your self-insured STD benefit is, in fact, subject to ERISA, you'll need to amend your plan documents.... If your self-insured STD benefit is, in fact, subject to ERISA and you are making disability determinations in-house, consider looking for an advise-to-pay vendor.... Review the definition of 'disability' or 'disabled' in your other ERISA-covered benefit plans (e.g., profit-sharing, 401(k), defined benefit, non-qualified deferred comp, top-hat, etc.) and consider whether and to what extent you should change that definition."
