What if the employers plan covers union employees or retirees?
Additional language is required for plans covering union employees. Further, if the employer provides retiree coverage, the document must describe the specific rights under the retiree plan and its impact on COBRA. Employers should consult with an attorney regarding the appropriate completion of a summary plan description for union employees or retirees.
