NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 15, 2021: Notice of Expiration to AEIs of ARPA COBRA Premium Assistance

Under provisions of the American Rescue Plan Act (“ARPA”), COBRA administrators are required to provide Assistance Eligible Individuals (“AEIs”) with written notice of the date on which their COBRA subsidy will end. The notice must be provided no earlier than 45 days before the expiration date and no later than 15 days before that date.

AEIs whose premium subsidy will be ending on September 30, 2021 due to the expiration of the ARPA COBRA subsidy will need to be given a notice between August 16, 2021 and September 15, 2021. The notice is not required if an AEI’s subsidy ends as a result of becoming eligible for coverage under another group health plan or through Medicare rather than the expiration of the subsidy.
