As previously discussed in our February 17, 2009 Legal Alert, President Obama signed into law the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 (CHIPRA). Among other things, CHIPRA requires that employers inform each employee of potential opportunities currently available in the State in which the employee resides for group health plan premium assistance under Medicaid and the Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP). These notices are referred to as Employer CHIP Notices.
