Case Law Hipaa
case law hipaa
Can an employer ask for proof of what you plan on using 401K loan for?
My husband just put in for a loan from his 401k. His employer demanded proof of what he plans on doing with this loan. ( In this case he is paying past medical bills). The proof that she requested were copies of these bills. Is this acceptable? I feel this is wrong and an infringment of HIPAA Laws. Am I right?
We understand that there are penalities and all that crud. HOWEVER….. the rules are he can only take 50% of his vested balance. my question is “is this a Hipaa infridgment of our privacy?”
what I mean by this is asking for copies of MEDICAL bills.
Oh, man, I sign off on these loans all the time as part of my firm’s 401(k) committee, but the question has never come up. To be honest with you, I think we just assume that, from time to time, some of these loans are for purposes other than stated, but we also consider it the employee’s money, so…
Dang!!! I don’t know!
