SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Patient Protection and Affordable Care
Act (the Affordable Care Act) provides
rules regarding rescissions of health
coverage for group health plans and
health insurance issuers offering group
or individual health insurance coverage.
Under the statute and interim final
regulations issued by the EBSA, a group
health plan or a health insurance issuer
offering group or individual health
insurance coverage generally must not
rescind coverage except in the case of
fraud or an intentional
misrepresentation of a material fact.
Furthermore, coverage may not be
cancelled unless prior notice is
provided. Specifically, interim final
regulations that EBSA has promulgated
provide that a group health plan or a
health insurance issuer offering group
health insurance coverage must provide
at least 30 days advance notice to an
individual before coverage may be
rescinded. The notice must be provided
regardless of whether the rescission is of
group or individual coverage; or
whether, in the case of group coverage,
the coverage is insured or self-insured,
or the rescission applies to an entire
group or only to an individual within
the group.
This information collection is subject
to the PRA. A Federal agency generally
cannot conduct or sponsor a collection
of information, and the public is
generally not required to respond to an
information collection, unless it is
currently approved by the OMB under
the PRA and displays a currently valid
OMB Control Number. In addition,
notwithstanding any other provisions of
law, no person shall generally be subject
to penalty for failing to comply with a
collection of information if the
collection of information does not
display a currently valid OMB control
number. See 5 CFR 1320.5(a) and
1320.6. The DOL obtains OMB approval
for this information collection under
OMB Control Number 1210–0141. The
current OMB approval is scheduled to
expire on December 31, 2010; however,
it should be noted that information
collections submitted to the OMB
receive a month-to-month extension
while they undergo review. For
additional information, see the related
notice published in the Federal Register
on September 30, 2010 (75 FR 60482).
