HHS Is Now Accepting Early Retiree Reinsurance Program Applications

HHS began accepting ERRP applications on June 29, 2010. Plan sponsors interested in applying for the ERRP must submit, via U.S. Postal Service, the signed paper original of their completed official ERRP application, along with any attachments, to HHS ERRP Application Center, 4700 Corridor Place, Suite D, Beltsville, MD 20705. Currently, HHS only is accepting hard copy applications (no electronic versions). Plan sponsors should note that prior versions of the ERRP application will not be accepted. Additionally, applicants should refer to the HHS’ "Dos and Don’ts" list for additional tips. As a reminder, because HHS plans to review and approve applications on a first-come, first-served basis, and may reject applications once it appears that the ERRP may run out of funds based upon applications received and approved, plan sponsors interested in participating in the ERRP will want to promptly submit accurate and complete applications.

If your company is applying for the ERRP and has questions, please contact Deborah Bracy, Jennifer Mills, John McGowan, or any member of the Baker Hostetler Health Care Reform Team.
