And They’re Off … COBRA Subsidy Race Is Under Way

On April 7, 2021, the U.S. Department of Labor issued guidance giving employers a key tool to comply with the new six-month 100 percent COBRA subsidy under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021. The May 31, 2021, deadline to issue special notices is already looming. In this webinar, the speakers will review the requirements of the new COBRA subsidy, the details of the new model notices, and the process for employers to claim Medicare tax credits for the subsidy amounts. The speakers will also discuss how to coordinate the COBRA subsidy with existing severance plans and agreements.
