The Sectretary of Labor must release model notices for the subsidized COBRA program no later than thirty (30) days after the date of enactment (2/17/09) of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. This week will culminate the 30 days, therefore the model notification should be released by the 19th of March. As a reminder, employers have sixty (60) days from enactment of the Stimulus bill to send out updated notices to any assistance eligible individuals.

StaffScapes will release additional information once we have had time to review the model notices being released from DOL this week.
