This notice can be provided separately or alongside materials on health plan eligibility, open season/election process materials, or the summary plan description (SPD).   ## **Covered Employers** An employer must provide an annual notice if their group health plan covers participants residing in a state with a premium assistance subsidy. The DOL’s model notice is regularly updated to reflect changes in states offering premium assistance subsidies, including information current as of January 31, 2024. Employers can use the model notice or create their own, but they must include relevant state contact information for employees in states with premium assistance.   ## **Employer Resources** The ESBA’s [CHIPRA webpage](https://www.dol.gov/agencies/ebsa/laws-and-regulations/laws/chipra) contains the latest model in English and Spanish, a fact sheet, a compliance assistance guide, and other helpful publications.
