The Employee Benefit Security Administration has published several “frequently asked questions” installments. These FAQ’s supplement the several interim rules providing guidance on some of the many vague standards set forth in the PPACA.
The regulatory effect of a FAQ is perhaps an untested legal point, but presumably the FAQ’s give some insight on the intentions of the regulators as they contemplate promulgation of further regulations under the PPACA. I have added a resources page that contains a collation of three FAQ installments published on the EBSA website.
