How will the Trump Administration Approach Benefits  Policy? 

1:15 p.m. – 2:15 p.m. (ET)

As the Trump Administration nears its 100th day in office, understanding its approach to employee benefits is crucial for businesses, policymakers, and workers alike. This panel will feature perspectives from officials and commentators on likely changes to health care, retirement, paid leave, and other relevant policies. Experts will discuss proposals such as altering tax incentives for employee benefits, and new regulations (or deregulation!) that would affect employee benefits. ERIC members will gain insights into the new administration’s priorities and plans, and how ERIC and our members can navigate and adapt to potential policy shifts.
