| Description: |
Just under the wire, President Obama extended the COBRA premium subsidy that was set to expire on Dec. 31, 2009.
Although the extension allows terminated workers to rest assured that they’ll be able to afford health coverage for a while longer, it will also create sleepless nights for employers who don’t prepare for their added notice and administration obligations.
Join us for an in-depth, 90-minute, interactive webinar all about what you need to do now to comply with the extension.
Learning Objectives:- How long the extended subsidy will be available
- Who’s eligible for the subsidy
- The latest on your COBRA notice obligations
- How to phase out premium subsidy payments
- How to communicate the latest COBRA-related developments to plan beneficiaries
- Strategies for handling underpaid premiums, issuing refund checks, and adjusting future COBRA premiums to offset overpayments
- How to minimize your COBRA costs and liabilities

| About Webcasts / Audio Conferences / Podcasts: |
Webcasts, audio conferences, and podcasts are presentations that you attend via the Internet, phone, or mobile device at a specified date and time for "live" versions, or at your convenience for "recorded" and "On-Demand" versions.
The live versions are interactive, meaning that participants can ask questions in real time, plus are a very cost-effective form a training because 1) you receive fast, convenient learning without any out-of-office time; 2) you can invite as many colleagues as you'd like to listen in on a single phone line; 3) you incur no travel expenses; and 4) you and your colleagues are back at work immediately after the session ends!
And though with recorded versions you do lose the ability to ask questions, you gain the ability to hear the presentation numerous times and to share it with others in your office.
Handout materials and the phone number for live presentations are made available to you prior to the event via email from the presenter and from the "MyAccount" link on the menu bar. Copies of the presentations are included with recorded versions. |
