The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) announced that employers will have until July 19, 2021 to submit two years (2019 and 2020) of EEO-1 Component 1 data. Recognizing the continuing differential impacts of the pandemic on workplaces, the EEOC has extended the data collection period this year from 10 weeks to 12 weeks to provide employers additional time to file. The EEOC began notifying filers of this deadline via email beginning March 29, 2021.
What will you need to file?
- Company ID and passcode (provided via US mail for previous filers or at registration for new filers)
- Company EIN, NAICS Codes, and DUNS Number
- Address and EINs of all establishment locations
- Count of all full/part-time employees during the workforce snapshot pay period
- Sex and race/ethnicity of all employees
- Job categories of all employees
Note: Employers may utilize the EEO-1 Report in iSolved to obtain necessary filing data. Reach out to our team should you require assistance.

AMERICAN RESCUE PLAN ACT & COBRA SUBSIDY
|
From April 1, 2021 through September 31, 2021, the American Rescue Plan Act requires employers to cover 100% of an employee’s cost of continuing group health coverage under COBRA if the employee was eligible for COBRA continuation coverage during the indicated period regardless of whether the employee may not have previously elected coverage or discontinued coverage. Employers that provide such paid coverage may recover the cost through deductions on quarterly payroll filings.
|
|
Next Steps for Employers:
Employers are encouraged to send notice to all individuals who are eligible for the ARPA COBRA subsidy using the DOL notice form. Employers must provide notice to Assistance Eligible Individuals by May 31, 2021.
