Today, at 4:55 PM, BAS/CCS emailed the following notice to all of their COBRA Administration clients and those clients’ insurance agents/brokers of record:
We are pleased to inform you that we have implemented a new version of our COBRA Qualifying Event Notice (QEN) that provides the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) required notices and premium subsidies (if any).
All new QEN processing you perform will use this new QEN beginning today and lasting until the end of the ARRA requirements. Moreover, any person receiving this new QEN will not need any other special notice, or receive any special enrollment period beyond the normal COBRA offerings stated in the QEN.
As usual, each time we produce a QEN for you, our system will send you a PDF copy of such QEN.
We expect to release all of the other notices required by ARRA next week. We will update you as we release these notices.
If you have any questions about this information, please contact us.
Sincerely,
Benefit Allocation Systems, Inc. – (800) 945-5513
Cobra Control Services, LLC – (888) 887-6187
