Just a quick reminder - the Affordable Care Act enrollment deadline for 2015 is approaching. Sunday, February 15 is the last day to enroll in a health insurance plan for 2015. If one misses this deadline, they may not be able to get coverage until 2016. And while one may not get sick in 2015, if they don't have health insurance, they'll miss out on preventive care services and may pay a hefty fine when they file their federal income tax return next year.

The Department of Labor issued new FAQs about the Affordable Care Act, including updated model COBRA notices. Please see the following link: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq-aca19.html.
