Description
This webinar will provide an overview
of the proposed rule (“Proposed Rule”) recently issued by the Equal Employment
Opportunity Commission (“EEOC”) under Title II of the Genetic Information
Nondiscrimination Act (“GINA”) with regard to wellness programs. The Proposed Rule provides guidance on the
extent to which an employer may offer an employee inducements for the
employee’s spouse to provide information about the spouse’s current or past
health status as part of a health risk assessment (“HRA”) administered in
connection with an employer-sponsored wellness program. We will explore the requirements under the
Proposed Rule, and we will examine how the Proposed Rule interacts with other
guidance applicable to wellness programs, including the final rule under the
Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and the proposed
rule under the Americans with Disabilities Act (“ADA”). We will briefly discuss
the continuing areas of uncertainty under Title I of GINA.
