A National Emergency was declared in March 2020 in response to the COVID pandemic to provide relief to employee benefit plans, participants and beneficiaries affected by the COVID-19 outbreak. The Outbreak Period was established by the Departments of Labor and Treasury (“agencies”) to provide temporary relief by relaxing rules around timeframes for submitting certain benefit elections and changes (examples include submitting benefit changes due to a Qualifying Life Event and electing COBRA continuation coverage).
