With President Obama’s signing of the $787 billion American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Stimulus Bill) into law, every employer will need to make changes to the way they administer COBRA. The new regulations include special reporting and premium-subsidization requirements that take effect over the next 60 days. 

On Wednesday March 4th from 12:00 – 1:00 pm, ArlenGroup is teaming up with employee benefit law expert, John Barlament of Michael Best & Friedrich LLP to outline the new rules and explain what employers must do to be in compliance with the new regulations. 

This informative webinar will focus on: 

  • Who is eligible for the new 65% COBRA subsidy and what must be done to claim it
  • How to comply with the new COBRA notice requirements
  • How to administer the new special election period requirements
  • Action items and concrete steps you need to immediately take

For information on the new regulations in advance of the webinar, please see ArlenGroup’s Insight Newsletter.
