COBRA Connections: ARPA Subsidies and Outbreak Period Relief Webinar

Gallagher

Recent legislation and regulatory guidance have increased the complexity of COBRA administration. The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) provides new subsidies for certain qualifying healthcare coverage between April 1 and September 30, 2021, and the Outbreak Period relief applicable to COBRA coverage beginning March 1, 2020, creates compliance challenges for plan sponsors and COBRA administrators. Join us to learn more about how the COBRA subsidies will apply, the complexities of administering Outbreak Period relief to COBRA continuation coverage, and how the two may combine.

Don’t miss this time-sensitive session where you will learn how to:

• Understand the key components and timeframes of the new COBRA subsidies under ARPA
• Identify potential action steps and compliance concerns related to the subsidies, including new COBRA notice requirements
• Apply Outbreak Period relief to COBRA elections, initial premium payments, and subsequent premium payments
• Recognize potential administration issues when subsidies and Outbreak Period relief overlap
