The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA) includes provisions that immediately impact employers subject to COBRA. For employees or beneficiaries who involuntarily incur a loss of coverage due to termination of employment or reduction of hours from April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021 ARPA subsidizes the COBRA premium payment through September 30, 2021. For employees or beneficiaries who involuntarily incurred a loss of coverage between November 1, 2019 and April 1, 2021..., and who either did not elect COBRA or allowed it to lapse, ARPA creates a current opportunity to elect (or re-elect) COBRA prospectively.

The Families First Coronavirus Response Act (#FFCRA) expires on December 31, 2020. The latest stimulus package recently passed by Congress will not change that (Note: As of December 22nd, the President has not signed this legislation). As of January 1, 2021, employers will no longer be required to provide employees with paid leave under the FFCRA, including emergency paid sick leave or expanded FMLA for child-care related purposes. Congress did, however, include some relief for employers who continue providing paid leave consistent with what the FFCRA required at least through the first quarter of 2021. What does this mean?
