Important Notice Regarding the American Rescue Plan Act – 100% COBRA Subsidy

Updated: April 13, 2021

The newly enacted American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 provides an opportunity for participants to get free COBRA coverage in the Directors Guild of America Producer Health Plan from April 1, 2021 through September 30, 2021. (Click here for more information about who will be eligible.)

The Health Plan will be reaching out to eligible participants and dependents soon with more details on how to enroll.

If you are interested in applying for free COBRA, you do not need to do anything further for now.  You should wait for the required notices and election forms from the Health Plan, which will be sent shortly. Once you receive the forms, you will need to complete and return them to the Health Plan.  Your free COBRA coverage will become effective retroactive to April 1, 2021, once the Health Plan is able to process your enrollment materials.

If you need to ensure that your COBRA coverage is effective April 1, 2021 without interruption or delay, please contact the Health Plan as soon as possible.

The Health Plan will also post updates on www.dgaplans.org as new information becomes available. For additional assistance, you can speak to a Participant Services representative at (323) 866-2200, Ext. 502 or toll free at (877) 866-2200, Ext. 502.  You may also contact the Eligibility Department at Eligibility@dgaplans.org if you have any further questions.
