COBRA notice and Trade Act

[Guest OSU]

If we do not have any employees eligible for Trade Assistance, are we still required to add that provision to the COBRA section in our SPD?

thx

I've kinda been wondering the same thing. My impression based on the new DOL Model Election Notice is no, as it says "If employees might be eligible for trade adjustment assistance, the following information may be added:" Emphasis mine. Makes it sound like nothing is required. But I could be wrong...
