2022 Group Health Plan Compliance Calendar

Employers that sponsor group health plans are subject to numerous reporting and disclosure requirements throughout the year in connection with their group health plans. This general 2022 compliance calendar lists key compliance deadlines that apply to employer-sponsored group health plans.  

This calendar only addresses recurring calendar year compliance deadlines. The calendar does not include other requirements that are not based on the calendar year. For example, a plan administrator must provide a COBRA Election Notice to a qualified beneficiary after a qualifying event occurs. This type of notice requirement is not addressed in this calendar. For non-calendar year plans, these deadlines will need to be adjusted to reflect each plan’s specific plan year.

State laws may impose additional obligations.  Employers should refer to the specific federal or state law at issue for complete information or consult with their legal department on applicable state laws that may provide additional requirements and deadlines.
