The American Rescue Plan Act, a $1.9 trillion stimulus bill, was passed on March 11, 2021 and includes many relevant provisions for employers. One to keep top of mind is the enactment of a six-month period during which the federal government will fully subsidize federal COBRA and mini-COBRA premiums, starting April 1st, 2021.

During a webinar we hosted on March 23, Katz/Pierz Principals Lenny Katz and Joe Sulpizio shared important employer considerations and provided you with clear action items you can follow to ensure you’re in compliance with this new COBRA subsidy probram.

We also put together a checklist of steps employers can take to get ahead of this new compliance rule. You will find that list and an easy-to-follow COBRA glossary in the flyer below at the “Download PDF” button:
