(NBBJ) - Amid recent postponements in the implementation of the Affordable Care Act (ACA), North Bay experts are trying to keep vintners, growers and other companies up to date with the rapidly changing health insurance environment.

Workshops are being held throughout the region to inform employers about the ACA — such as one convened August 1 for the Sonoma County Vintner’s Association, sponsored by Vantreo Insurance Brokerage in cooperation with Kaiser Permanente.

Additional sessions are planned as ACA rules are revised, new insurance rates are released and start dates change.

For example, in July the White House announced that the ACA requirement that large employers offer affordable insurance to their workers in 2014 would be delayed one year.

A second delay was issued for the start of a process to verify incomes of people claiming eligibility for government subsidies in order to buy health insurance on state exchanges.
