Proposed ARRA COBRA Extension Has Employers Scrambling
- November 19, 2009
Legislation to extend and enhance the COBRA subsidy was introduced last week in the Senate (S.2730) and the week before in the House of Representatives (HR. 3930). This proposed legislation will continue COBRA health care coverage for another six months to those who have been laid-off and their families.

COBRAGuard, a certified COBRA administrator, urges all employers to get ready for the extension. “Employers and COBRA participants will have to prepare for changes and be patient as lawmakers make up their minds,” said Robert Meyers, President of COBRAGuard Inc.
