On March 11, 2021, President Biden signed the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (“ARPA”) into law. The overall purpose of the bill is to provide relief from the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. As the fifth round of COVID relief, ARPA is a sprawling bill which impacts many employer-provided benefits, including a large bail-out of multiemployer pension plans, changes to COBRA premium assistance, increased support for ACA premiums, paid sick and family leave credits, dependent care assistance, and section 162(m) changes, among others.
