The
Children’s Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009
(“CHIPRA”) imposes certain notice requirements on employers maintaining
group health plans. Under CHIPRA, beginning in April 2009, employers
sponsoring group health plans must provide notice of the new special
enrollment rights CHIPRA affords.
Under
CHIPRA, the Departments of Labor (“DOL”) and Health and Human Services
had to develop a model notice for employer-sponsors to use to inform
each employee of certain premium assistance opportunities currently
available in the employee’s state of residence. On February 4, 2010,
The DOL published that model notice (“Employer CHIP Notice”), available at http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/.
Note that the Department of Labor has stated that it intends to update Login to read more.
