The DOL has updated the CHIP model notice as of Jan 31, 2025.
Who this applies to:
All size employers sponsoring any type of medical plan which employees contribute to
Go Deeper:
An employer is subject to the CHIP annual notice requirement if its group health plan covers participants who reside in a state that provides a premium assistance subsidy, regardless of the employer’s location.
A model notice is available in English and Spanish. The notice is updated January 31 and July 31 each year to reflect changes in the phone, email, and website information when states make changes.
Employers sponsoring a group health plan should provide the CHIP notice with other health plan eligibility materials, such as with new hire and annual open enrollment materials or with the summary plan description (SPD).
