WHAT YOU REALLY NEED TO KNOW FROM THE RECENT EXTENSION OF ERISA DEADLINES

President Trump declared a National Emergency on March 1, 2020 in response to COVID-19. Two months later on April 30th, the Department of Labor issued a Final Rule that extended certain timeframes for ERISA compliance, effective as of March 1, 2020. The original deadlines cannot resume for 60 days until after the President declares the National Emergency to be over.
MIDTERM RUNOFF ELECTION RESULTS...
AND WHAT THEY COULD MEAN FOR NOVEMBER AND BEYOND

Tuesday, July 14th was an important night in Texas politics. The Covid-19 delayed primary run-offs finally happened, as well as a special election for Texas Senate District 14 (Austin). These elections are always interesting because pundits and politicos use the data to try to predict the November elections. Run-offs are generally hard to decipher because only a small percentage of voters vote usually, so a candidate's ability to convince people to actually go to the poles is usually a large factor in who wins. This year, given the pandemic scare, these election outcomes were even more important to glean information from.

The ARAWC Board will meet August 20 to continue working hard to develop solutions and opportunities for Texas employers who do not have workers’ compensation.
