North Hempstead to Host Free Seminar on Affordable Care Act

The Town of North Hempstead Business and Tourism Development Corporation recently announced that they are hosting a free two-hour presentation on the Affordable Care Act.

The seminar will take place Sept. 27 from 8-10 a.m at the Harbor Links Club House (located at One Fairway Drive in Port Washington). The seminar will focus squarely on the facts and what employers need to know in order to comply with this new law. 

In March 2010, President Obama signed the Affordable Care Act into law, which was ratified by the Supreme Court in 2012.  Under the law, Health Benefit Exchanges will be set up in all 50 states.  These Exchanges are organized marketplaces designed to assist individuals, families, and small businesses to shop for and enroll in health insurance coverage.

A panel of experts will clear up any misconceptions about the Affordable Care Act and detail the expanded coverage of benefits.  They will also discuss the costs, tax implications, as well as the New York Health Benefits Exchange, Employer Mandates and options, and the Small Business Health Care Tax Credit.

A continental breakfast will be served.  To register for the seminar, call (516) 869-7614.  Register online at http://www.btdc.biz/OnlineRegistration.asp.
