Earlier this year, President Obama signed
into law the American Economic Recovery and Reinvestment Plan Act, which
provides Government-funded COBRA premium assistance (COBRA Subsidy)
equal to 65 percent of the COBRA premium to COBRA qualified
beneficiaries receiving COBRA by virtue of the covered employee’s
involuntary termination of employment occurring between September 1,
2008, and December 31, 2009 (“Assistance Eligible Individuals” or
AEIs). The Subsidy is available for any health coverage (including
dental, vision, EAP, etc.) other than health FSA coverage offered
through a cafeteria plan.
A myriad of detailed technical and
administrative issues result from the ACT that health plans, TPAs and
Employers must address, as well as administrative and strategic
implications that must be considered. Furthermore, with each passing
week since adoption of the Act, new scenarios and issues surface that
need to be addressed. |
