COBRAGuard Offers Free Action Plan Webinar to Assist Employers with COBRA Subsidy Extension
Date:12/31/2009

MISSION, Kan., Dec. 31 /PRNewswire/ -- President Obama signed the bill containing the COBRA subsidy extension into law on Dec. 19, 2009. With this extension, employers must act quickly to fulfill their notice obligations, update carriers and adjust administrative procedures. To smooth the transition, COBRAGuard Inc. is offering a free Webinar on Wednesday, Jan. 6 at 11 a.m. Central Time. The Webinar is entitled, "How to Get it Right the First Time - Your Action Plan for the ARRA Extension." Company President Robert Meyers says, "A lot of people are talking about the core elements of the bill, but no one is saying much about what exactly must be done. Our goal is to give employers a practical guide."

The free Webinar is open to the first 1,000 people who enroll online at http://www.cobraguard.net. Employers, third party administrators and insurance brokers are welcome. In addition, other Webinars are scheduled for COBRAGuard members. The Action Plan Webinar will cover notice obligations, eligibility and subsidy timelines. It will also go beyond the basics to delve into the practical dilemmas and potential stumbling points, such as:

  • How to retroactively deal with COBRA participants that exhausted the original 9-month subsidy
  • How to communicate with those who are now eligible but weren't previously
  • How this change affects open enrollment and how you can be sure that you don't leave anyone behind
  • What steps should be taken to notify new carriers of extension-eligible participants
  • How to balance year-end reporting and 941 forms
