Over the last few weeks, we have seen significant changes affecting COBRA compliance. Employers should contact their COBRA administrators to discuss the best practices in light of these developments, which include the Department of Labor’s publication of new model COBRA notices and COVID-19 notice and premium payment extensions. We have a helpful article that discusses agency publications. This is especially important, given the recent flurry of class action cases involving COBRA notices. A recording and a recap of the Jackson Lewis COVID-19 daily briefing episode discussing COBRA class action litigation are also available. Contact any Jackson Lewis attorney to help you navigate the new agency guidance.
