Overview

A "grandfathered plan" is a group health plan in existence as of March 23, 2010 (the date Health

 Care Reform was signed into law) that has not made certain significant changes that either 

reduce benefits or increase out-of-pocket costs for individuals covered under the plan. (The d

ate a particular employee joins a plan does not necessarily reflect the date the plan was created.

 New employees and new family members can be added to grandfathered group plans after 

March 23, 2010.)
