The American Rescue Plan of 2021 (ARP) was signed into law by President Biden on March 11, 2021. The bill provides an enrollment opportunity for individuals who would have been eligible for, but did not elect, COBRA at the time of their termination, as well as individuals who had COBRA but let it lapse before their full 18 months of eligibility was complete.
If you are eligible to enroll in or change plans due to a qualified life change event, you may be asked to provide documents (employees to your employer, retirees to ETF) to confirm your eligibility.
