Virtual

Join Verrill's Samuel J. Baldwin who will be speaking on considerations for health savings account benefit offerings during Plan Sponsor and Plan Advisor's 2022 Virtual HSA Conference. The HSA Conference is designed to educate plan sponsors that currently offer, or are considering offering, these accounts. It’s also a great opportunity for advisers who want to get up to speed on this fast-growing benefit option. Through various panel discussions and presentations, employers will see how best to offer this benefit, and advisers will learn how to support them in the process. Topics to be discussed include: How HSAs operate; best practices in HSA provider selection and ongoing administration; how to boost employees’ knowledge, and use, of their benefit; and more. If you are new to health savings accounts (HSAs) or would like a refresher, this session will cover the features of the accounts and rules governing them that plan sponsors need to know, including eligibility requirements, tax treatment rules and allowable expenses. Speakers will also discuss recent regulations and legislation related to HSAs.
