Episode 233: Empowering Plans: P194 – The Rapid Evolution of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act

Just like the development of a child, regulations evolve in their ability to walk and talk over time. Join Jen McCormick and Kelly Dempsey as they go through the evolution of the Pregnant Workers Fairness Act – from passage in late 2022 to the final rules that took effect on June 18, 2024. They also discuss current court challenges where two courts have reached opposite conclusions and, of course, what this all means for self-funded health plans. It’s hard to keep up as this one went from crawling to running in fewer than two months!
