November 1, 2009 New Deadline for FTC Red Flags Rule
 
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) announced they are further delaying enforcement of the Red Flags Rule until November 1, 2009.  The intent of the delay is to enable businesses to gain a better understanding of the Rule and any obligations they may have under it.  The FTC is creating a special link on the Red Flags Rule website for small and low-risk entities with materials that will provide guidance and direction regarding the Rule.  The FTC news release is available at http://ftc.gov/opa/2009/07/redflag.shtm
 
In addition, federal legislation has been introduced (House Resolution 2345) that would exclude health care practices with 20 or fewer employees.  CDA is monitoring this issue closely and will provide updates as appropriate.
