Notice 2021-31 (the Notice) is lengthy, at more than 40 pages with 86 questions and answers. Despite its length, much of the guidance is not surprising and is a carryover of previous Internal Revenue Service (IRS) guidance related to the COBRA subsidy under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009. The Notice comes as plan sponsors and COBRA administrators are gearing up to issue required notices to subsidy eligible individuals under the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) (known as assistance eligible individuals). ....

The prior Joint Notice from the DOL and IRS provided suspension of all deadlines until 60 days after the expiration of the National Emergency, referred to as the “Outbreak Period.” The issue requiring clarification arose due to the unanticipated length of the Outbreak Period. Much like all of us, the IRS and DOL did not foresee an Outbreak Period continuing well over a year later. As the one-year anniversary of the Outbreak Period approached, a conflict began to arise with ERISA section 518 and Code section 7508A(b).

Friday, March 5, 2021 In accordance with emergency powers granted in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic, the IRS and DOL extended a number of benefit plan–related deadlines and provided other relief for participants and plan sponsors. The Jones Walker May 22, 2020, Employee Benefits Client Alert provided a summary of the guidance. On Friday, February 26, 2021, the DOL issued additional guidance on certain benefit plan–related deadlines, just before the expiration of certain relief the following Monday. Deadline extensions may continue past February 28, 2021, provided the deadline at issue has not already been extended by one year as of such date, and extensions must be measured on a person-by-person basis. ....
