Brown & Brown says employers can skip redistributing updated DOL model CHIP notice this plan year

Brown & Brown says employers can skip redistributing the revised U.S. Labor Department model Medicaid/CHIP premium-assistance notice this plan year.

• Brown & Brown flagged a revised U.S. Labor Department model Medicaid/CHIP premium-assistance notice, updated for states offering programs as of July 31, 2026.
• Employers generally must provide the notice to workers living in eligible states, with broad distribution to all employees positioned as a practical compliance approach.
• No reissuance is needed if the prior notice was already sent for the current plan year; the updated version should be used for new hires, special enrollees and future open enrollment.
• The model notice expires May 31, 2029, though the Labor Department typically refreshes the template twice a year.
