On October 15, 2021, the DOL updated its Premium Assistance Under Medicaid and the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP) model notice that employers with group health plans may use to notify eligible employees about premium assistance available through their state Medicaid or CHIP. The DOL regularly updates the notice to reflect any changes to the list of states offering premium assistance programs.
The latest updated notice includes changes to the program contact information for Massachusetts and Virginia compared to the previous January 31, 2021, version.
Employers creating their own notices, rather than using the DOL’s model notice, should pay special attention to ensure the most recent information is used. Employees residing in any of the states identified on the notice must receive this information automatically, before the start of the plan year, and free of charge.
