"[H]ere we are, almost a year out, and the president hasn't rescinded the national emergency. But under ERISA, the feds only had the authority to suspend these deadlines for a year.... So, what happens on March 1 with respect to all those folks who, since then, haven't yet elected COBRA, paid their COBRA premium, submitted claims, applied for HIPAA special enrollment, or filed an appeal on a denied claim?"

"As the pandemic continues on, employers have reported that COBRA qualified beneficiaries are not making elections, or are making no or short payments of premiums ... Without guidance, the best analog is to look at how the employer treats COBRA beneficiaries during the non-pandemic election period, and during the late payment grace period."
