This is a required course for the GBA and CEBS designations.
Please note: This course will be revised for the fourth quarter 2008 testing. The new GBA 2 Learning Guide features relevant, streamlined content along with readings updated for 2008.Following coverage of the various forms of life insurance benefits provided through the employment relationship, GBA 2 examines a wide variety of other welfare benefits including: dependent care and family leave benefits; work/life benefits—such as financial planning, adoption assistance, legal services, and education assistance; and vacation and other time-off benefits. Two assignments deal with the important topic of flexible benefit plans and flexible spending accounts, and the course then covers various functions associated with welfare plans such as administration, communication and taxation. One assignment is devoted to insuring and managing employee disabilities, and another to the timely topic of benefits technology and information management. The course concludes with assignments on health benefits for retirees and long-term care.
Note: The same text is used in GBA 1—Group Health Plan Design (CEBS Course 1). The textbook will remain current for the 2008 course revision.
