DOL Clarifies Application of the One-Year Outbreak Period
Update: 2021-03-08
Description
When federal officials suspended the deadlines related to COBRA, HIPAA Special Enrollment rights, and claims procedures last spring, they likely did not anticipate that the National Emergency would still be in place today, meaning these suspended deadlines attached to the Outbreak Period have continued. By law, such deadlines could only be suspended for a maximum of one year, so it seemed as if a hard stop was coming Feb 28th, 2021.
