The Department of Labor has published model notices to help plans and individuals comply with the new COBRA requirements of the recent economic stimulus package.
By April 18, an employer must send a "Notice in Connection with Extended Election Periods" to any eligible individual who:
- Had a qualifying event (more info here) at any time from September 1, 2008 through February 16, 2009; and
- Either did not elect COBRA continuation coverage, or who elected it but subsequently discontinued COBRA.
