So UCLA’s Rice said you should contact your former employer as soon as possible to avoid losing out on benefits.
COVID RELIEF BILL FREE
If your employer waits until the May 31 deadline to notify you, you could miss out on two months of free coverage. Grants of up to 20,000 will be made available to small businesses across the state that need support this winter. On March 27th, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act (CARES) was signed into law to aid families and workers. The relief bill includes 55 million to help small businesses impacted by COVID-19. If your employer or the employment-based group health plan you were a part of do not notify you, the Labor Department recommends contacting your employer to request information on your eligibility. Gretchen Whitmer on Tuesday signed the 106 million bipartisan relief bill that the Michigan legislature passed last week. If you are newly eligible under the relief bill, your employer is required to notify you by May 31, said Grant Vaught, a Labor Department spokesperson. In general, employers have 60 days to notify you of your COBRA eligibility. Also, beneficiaries who recently turned 26 (the cutoff age for dependents to stay on their parents’ health insurance) and former spouses who lost their coverage due to a divorce will be unable to receive free COBRA benefits but can expect lower costs “on Marketplace health insurance coverage thanks to provisions in the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021,” according to the Labor Department.
