COBRA Changes in the Stimulus Package
The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, otherwise known as the stimulus package, will be signed today by President Barack Obama. The stimulus package creates many changes that employers should become aware of. One significant change, however, is COBRA coverage and notices. The Ohio Employer’s Law Blog sets forth the changes made by the stimulus package to COBRA. The changes will require employers to amend their current COBRA notices and to re-notify employees terminated between September 1, 2008 and February 17, 2009.
