COBRA Subsidy Signed into Law The economic stimulus bill officially referred to as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) was signed into law on February 17th, 2009 by President Obama. ARRA contains Federal premium assistance for COBRA premiums of certain eligible individuals. Employers must quickly prepare for an increase in the number of COBRA elections and new COBRA notice requirements. The premium assistance will be available to eligible individuals beginning with coverage periods starting after February 17th, 2009, so employers have very little time to prepare for the administrative changes necessary to comply with the new rules. For more information on the new rules go to the KnowCOBRA.com page.
The KnowCOBRA.com guide to the COBRA Premium Assistance Rules is more than simply a collection of official documents already available free from government websites, and at only $39, the guide is a fraction of the cost of other COBRA guides and manuals. Written by Bob Radecki, the founder and former President of A.E. Roberts Company, the guide spells out in clear and simple terms what an employer needs to understand the new rules whether they use a COBRA administrator or not.
