Minnesota COBRA Premium Subsidy

Under Minnesota law, employers and plan administrators who are required to provide notice of the federal COBRA subsidy under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 must include information about the Minnesota COBRA Premium Subsidy to qualified individuals residing in Minnesota.  This model notice can be used by employers and plan administrators to comply with the notification requirement. We recommend this notice be included with all COBRA notice mailings. Employers and plan administrators can write their own notice using language from the model version. If doing so, please do not change the eligibility information or the name of the Minnesota COBRA Premium Subsidy.
