Employee Benefits Tip of the Week: New Department of Labor Forms Expedite COBRA Health Care Continuation Subsidy

05.28.2009

Last Thursday, the US Department of Labor issued forms so that employees who terminate employment and who feel that they should have been entitled to the COBRA health care continuation subsidy provided under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, but who have not been provided the subsidy, may appeal that decision. You may recall that the ARRA required that the government make available an "expedited review" process for such determinations, and this has now been done through the information published.

Available for download (click the "Download PDF" link to the left to read more) you will find the DOL's recently published guidance on what needs to be submitted to request expedited review, complete with instructions and forms.
