ARPA 2021 COBRA Coverage: Free, Free, Free (for Six Months)
The American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA), Pub. L. No. 117-2, provides COBRA premium subsidies for 100% of the applicable COBRA premiums for eligible individuals for periods beginning on or after April 1, 2021, and ending September 30, 2021. The law places a burden on employers to identify subsidy-eligible individuals, which may include those whose employment was involuntarily terminated at the beginning of the pandemic (even if they didn’t enroll in COBRA).
