The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) has announced updates to model notices that employers, who offer single employer health plans under federal guidelines and have twenty or more employees, must provide to their employees who receive health care benefits. These include a notice provided at the start of employment and a notice at the end of employment, informing employees of their eligibility to continue and later purchase, health insurance coverage through the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA).
