Heads Up: State Continuation of Coverage Outreach to Small Group Leaders

May 14, 2021

Part of the American Rescue Plan Act (ARP) expands availability of subsidies for employees and their dependents that are on or eligible for State Continuation of Coverage.

Groups are required to notify employees that are on or qualify for State Continuation of Coverage about the availability of additional premium assistance.
