• High On Ppa

Tom Foster, national spokesman for The Hartford Retirement Plans, speaks enthusiastically about the automatic enrollment provision in the 2006 Pension Protection Act (PPA). That's the section of the law that allows employers to auto-enroll employees in the companies' defined-contribution plans, and keep them there unless individuals opt out within 90 days. The 90-day provision made automatic enrollment more appealing to plan sponsors, Foster said. His only disappointment with PPA so far is that some employers have not yet grasped the opportunities. They have to continue what they do best: Educate them, he said. But over all, they're pleased with the PPA.

• ¿Cómo Funciona Ppa?

El Partnership for Prescription Assistance (PPA) es un esfuerzo conjunto de empresas farmacéuticas, médicos, otros proveedores de cuidado de salud y organizaciones comunitarias con el fin de crear un lugar donde aquellas personas que no pueden pagar por medicinas o no están asegurados puedan conocer si califican para descuentos en varios programas, algunas de los cuales sólo están disponibles en Florida. Pero frecuentemente es difícil para el público entender todos estos programas. Esta iniciativa tiene la intención de proveer un solo lugar donde la gente pueda conseguir información sobre los programas para los cuales pueden ser elegibles.
