Summary:
COBRA Subsidy – what is the status today? Who is eligible and how long does it last – the subsidy in NOT gone – it is still with us. Let’s be sure you know your compliance responsibilities.
And, how with the new Nation HealthCare Reform requirements impact your plan – especially the dependent children to age 26 requirement – when will this impact your plan and what enrollment and communication actions are required? How will this coordinate with current COBRA situations – and how will it create new events?
And it is not just COBRA you have to worry about! We will discuss how some of the other mandated laws impact your plan – especially FMLA, Workers Compensation and COBRA – how do they coordinate together. Do you know the different communication and timeline requirements of each law.
There are a lot of compliance issues on your plate – let’s just be sure your plan is in compliance with each one.
This seminar will discuss the following:
LET’S REVIEW
Who
Who has the COBRA responsibilities; what employers must comply with the Federal COBRA law – discussion includes the small employer calculation, part-time employee formula, common employer percentage. And, who is eligible for COBRA continuation; who is a qualified beneficiary
What
What is a COBRA Plan – it is much more than just Health Insurance – it includes health, dental, vision, Rx, Health FSA and some EAP plans; even some voluntary payroll deduct plans
COBRA SUBSIDY EXTENDED
COBRA subsidy
It has been extended but, it is not a simple “a few more months of subsidy.” There are new eligibility rules, new communication requirements and of course, new notices.
Who did you say was eligible for the subsidy?
What Plans are eligible for the subsidy?
Will the subsidy be extended again?
And there are other changes that impact COBRA eligibility. We will also discuss some recent changes in the law concerning COBRA and Domestic Partners and how JOBS FOR MAIN STREET legislation may impact COBRA and the subsidy?
COORDINATING WITH OTHER LAWS
How do Worker’s Compensation, FMLA, Disability and COBRA laws work - together – independently – concurrently? We will pull all of these together to explain the employer’s liability. When can coverage be cancelled – what laws protect employee benefits?
