The triple threat of federal agencies (Department of Labor, Department of Treasury, and Department of Health and Human Services) first published guidance in the form of interim final regulations on "grandfathered" health plans under the health care reform law (the "Affordable Care Act") on June 17, 2010. Since then the agencies have issued Frequently Asked Questions on September 20, 2010, October 8, 2010, October 12, 2010 and October 28, 2010, each containing responses to questions regarding the implementation of the Affordable Care Act, including clarifications on rules related to grandfathered plans. On November 15, 2010, the agencies released an amendment to the interim final regulations providing some relief to fully insured group health plans.
