DAHU COBRA Update - January 14, 2010
Speaker and Sponsor:
Mark Lam, Flexible Benefit Service Corporation
Recent legislation was signed into law by President Obama that extends the duration of the ARRA COBRA Subsidy. The timelines for implementing these changes are very tight, and action must be taken quickly to ensure that people who are entitled to the extended benefit are notified properly and that their COBRA benefits are properly administered. This presentation will include discussions on:
- The ARRA COBRA Subsidy Extension
- What is it?
- When does it go into effect?
- Who is affected?
- What must employers do to be in compliance?
- New Notification Requirements
- Timelines
- What’s on the horizon?
- Jobs for Main Street Act – yet another extension of the subsidy
