Multistate Guide to Benefits Law (Wolters Kluwer/Aspen Publishers 1999-2010)

The 2011 Multistate Guide to Benefits Law is the single, easy-to-use resource that is essential for staying in compliance with the increasingly complex regulatory framework of state benefits law. Only the 2011 Multistate Guide to Benefits Law's unique chart format enables you to quickly locate information concerning one state's treatment of a particular issue, or compare the treatment required by several states—all on the same chart.

All of the text and charts in the 2011 Edition have been updated to reflect changes in the law including:

  • The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act that was signed into law in March 2010
  • In October 2009, President Obama signed into law clarifications to the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA)
  • Many states updated requirements for health benefit coverage, including expanded coverage for autism spectrum disorders, orally administered chemotherapy drugs, clinical trials for cancer, specified providers, and other coverage
  • Missouri has revised its COBRA law to follow federal law, rather than providing a separate requirement
  • Updated information on updates to state short-term disability laws, including benefit payouts and contributions
  • Updated tables reflect changes to state taxation of benefits
