Small employers whose employees had the opportunity to elect continuation due to reduced hours, furlough, or layoff, but who did not elect continuation or who elected continuation but later terminated it, must be given the opportunity for an extended election period. Groups must issue notices to eligible individuals within 5 business days of 7/21/2021. Eligible members may elect coverage back to their initial effective date, or 4/1/2021. The subsidy runs from 4/1/2021 thru 9/30/2021. As a reminder, members who are eligible for other group coverage or Medicare are not subsidy eligible
