The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 and Plan Sponsors

The Senate has passed its version of the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021, which includes a number of important provisions to sponsors of health, welfare and retirement plans. The House has resolved the differences between its earlier-passed version and the Senate version. The final bill is on its way to President Biden for signature into law.

In the legislation is single-employer and multiemployer pension relief, language creating a program through the PBGC to provide financial assistance to troubled multiemployer plans and a newly created 100% COBRA subsidy program. Given the potentially far-reaching scope of the Act’s provisions, plan sponsors will want to learn more about the practical effect of key provisions.

This webinar replay features our panel – David Brenner, Segal’s National Director of Multiemployer Consulting; Senior Compliance Consultants Beth Bangert and Julia Zuckerman; and Regional Retirement Practice Leader Jason Russell – for a presentation and discussion including opportunities for submitting and answering questions.
