Teleseminar for Employers re: Economic Stimulus Recovery Act and COBRA

I’m holding a teleseminar for  employers and HR Professionals only on February 25, from 2 to 3 pm to discuss the impact of the Economic Stimulus Recovery ACT on employers.  Employers and HR professionals can get the details for this teleseminar by signing up for the COBRABusters.com newsletter at right.

Employers are now required by law to subsidize COBRA and State of Texas Continuation payments by 65% for any employees and their dependents who were terminated between September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009.  Employers will also be required to give notice of this subsidization option to terminated employees, as well as provide emplyees with an additional 60 days to select COBRA.  The mechanics and the paperwork that will be required of employers in order to comply with this law and attain reimbursement for the subsidization will also be discussed.

Please forward information about this teleseminar and how to sign up to the appropriate person at your former or current employer, and any HR professionals.  There is much lack of detail and clarity in this legislation, and it is to everyone’s benefit to understand how this legislation impacts their company or former company and the new immediate requirements that this legislation places on employers.

The teleseminar line for employers holds 100 callers but the call will be recorded and available to download and listen to later at GroupBenefitsAdvisors.com, a sister website to COBRABusters.com.
