Event Synopsis:

In November 2015, the Department of Labor (DOL) released its proposed regulations that will upgrade existing procedures in determining disability benefit claims under ERISA plans.

In this Live Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the fundamentals as well as recent developments in DOL’s Disability Claims Regulations.

Key topics include:

• New conflict of interest requirements
• New adverse benefit determinations obligations
• New appeals practices and procedures
• Expanded deemed exhausted rules
• New rescission rules for disability claims
