The Department of Labor ("DOL") has issued model notices regarding COBRA premium
assistance (a/k/a COBRA subsidies). As we wrote about here, as part of the American Rescue Plan Act
of 2021 (the "Act"), Congress sought to enable qualifying
individuals - known under the law as "Assistance Eligible
Individuals" or "AEIs" - to continue their

the period between April 1 and September 30, 2021. We discuss
these notice requirements and related issues below.
