August / September 2013
Newsletter: Trendlines

Abstract: The potential penalties levied by the “play or pay” provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, originally set to take effect next year, have been delayed until Jan. 1, 2015. (This “transition relief” doesn’t change any other aspect of the health care act, though more IRS guidance is expected.) The penalties will apply to large employers that don’t offer affordable health care benefits of at least minimum value to their employees. This article explains how these terms are defined under the act and how to calculate a company’s number of full-time and “full-time equivalent” employees. It also describes the specific nature of the penalties. A sidebar looks at how “play or pay” affects Health Savings Accounts and Health Reimbursement Arrangements.

Abstract: Medical advances have resulted in people living longer than they used to, so it’s reasonable to wonder if age 65 is still a realistic target age for retirement — especially now that the “full” retirement age for Social Security is older. Furthermore, a serious illness, accident or other misfortune could radically alter how long it may be possible to work. This article looks at some key factors to consider when contemplating various retirement scenarios, such as inflation, unexpected medical costs and maintaining adequate growth potential. A sidebar discusses Social Security benefits.
