: Northwest Business Litigation BlogDoL and IRS issue guidance on Stimulus Bill's COBRA subsidy
By Stacey Mark
In February, I wrote about employers' new obligations under the Stimulus Bill's COBRA Subsidy. Since then, the Department of Labor has published a variety of additonal information for employers on their responsibilities, including several model notices to qualified beneficiaries. In addition, the IRS recently issued guidance in a question and answer format that address a number of issues that have arisen regarding the law's requirements.

For those employers offering Oregon state continuation coverage, information is available here on attempts to pass related legislation in Oregon.
