COBRA Model Notices through May 31, 2010

Posted on by admin

COBRA Model Premium Subsidy Notices through May 31, 2010 are now available. ARRA, as amended by the Continuing Extension Act of 2010 (CEA), mandates that plans notify certain current and former participants and beneficiaries about the COBRA premium reduction.

The U.S. Department of Labor created model notices to help plans and employers comply with these requirements. Each model notice is designed for a particular group of qualified beneficiaries and contains information to help satisfy ARRA’s notice provisions, including those amended by CEA.

Here are the new COBRA Premium Subsidy Model Notices and Fact Sheet through May 31, 2010:
