SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title: Continuation Coverage
Requirements Application to Group
Health Plans.
OMB Number: 1545–1581.
Regulation Project Number: REG–
209485–86 (TD 8812).
Abstract: The regulations require
group health plans to provide notices to
individuals who are entitled to elect
COBRA (The Consolidated Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985)
continuation coverage of their election
rights. Individuals who wish to obtain
the benefits provided under the statute
are required to provide plans notices in
the cases of divorce from the covered
employee, a dependent child’s ceasing
to be dependent under the terms of the
plan, and disability. Most plans will
require that elections of COBRA
continuation coverage be made in
writing. In cases where qualified
beneficiaries are short by an
insignificant amount in a payment made
to the plan, the regulations require the
plan to notify the qualified beneficiary
if the plan does not wish to treat the
tendered payment as full payment. If a
health care provider contacts a plan to
confirm coverage of a qualified
beneficiary, the regulations require that
the plan disclose the qualified
beneficiary’s complete rights to
coverage.
Current Actions: There are no changes
to the paperwork burden previously
approved by OMB.
Type of Review: Extension of a
currently approved collection.
Affected Public: Business or other forprofit organizations, individuals or
households, and not-for-profit
institutions.
Estimated Number of Respondents:
1,800,000.
The estimated time per respondent
varies from 30 seconds to 330 hours,
depending on individual circumstances,
with an estimated average of 14
minutes.
Estimated Total Annual Burden
Hours: 404,640.
The following paragraph applies to all
of the collections of information covered
by this notice.
