The authors wish to express appreciation to Elizabeth Hadley, Jennifer Hersh, Robert Imes, Stephanie Lewis, Lauren Polite, Jalena Specht, and Nicole Tapay for their work developing earlier editions of these guides.

The authors also wish to express appreciation to the staff of the Tennessee Department of Commerce and Insurance and the United States Department of Labor.  Their help was invaluable in our research and understanding of applicable laws and policies.  Without them, this guide would not have been possible.  However, any mistakes that may appear are our own.
