This all new, 2 hour webinar will explain the essential eligibility rules that all Head Start and Early Head Start programs must know to ensure compliance with the complex eligibility requirements and to avoid the consequences of violating the eligibility standards.

| Summary:
One year ago, Congress passed and the President signed into law the most significant changes to the American health care system in the nation's history. The health care reform law has been the subject of political and court challenges, and, within the last month, two courts have found at least part of the health care reform law unconstitutional. Despite the court rulings, though, implementation of the health care reform legislation continues. Learn what these decisions and the continued implementation of the health care reform law mean for you, your organization, and your employees. This 90 minute webinar will discuss the legal challenges to the health care reform law, tax incentives available under the health care law, regulations affecting existing (grandfathered) health plans, new appeals procedures, new reporting requirements, and the controversial individual and employer mandates. The webinar will emphasize developments in the last six months. In addition, because implementation of the new law continues, participants will receive a detailed overview of the multi-year time line for implementing the health care reform law.

| Summary
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (“ARRA”) was enacted to stimulate the economy in the face of the nation’s worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Popularly known as “the stimulus,” ARRA was designed, in part, to inject billions of dollars into the economy through grants to state and local governments as well as to nonprofit organizations under many new and expanded grant programs. This unprecedented ARRA grant funding was accompanied by strict reporting and other new requirements. This all new 90 minute webinar will examine the important lessons learned: what has worked, what has not, and what has changed. The webinar will also address the current and future challenges that remain for grantees, including the future of ARRA and Federal grant reporting.
