This issue of the Benefits Focus newsletter gets down to business as we review deadlines, new laws and topics that we could see making news in the coming months in the employee benefits world.

The February Live Well Work Well column is a great reminder to keep your fitness/health resolutions you made last month. Their effects could keep your heart healthy besides slimming down your waistline.

Remember, the Alper Employee Benefits Team is here to answer any questions you have regarding the information in this newsletter or benefits coverage in general.

Sincerely,
Will Pinn, Director of Employee Benefits
