Personnel Concepts Advises Employers of COBRA Subsidy Extension Through May 2010

Apr 16, 2010

ONTARIO, Calif.—Personnel Concepts, pioneer in the labor law compliance poster industry, offers the perfect product for those employers who offer health insurance and are contemplating staff reductions—the All-In-One COBRA Information Poster, which will inform employees of their right to both a health insurance extension and a premium subsidy.

Congress has just passed and President Obama has signed an extension of the 65-percent COBRA subsidy through the end of May 2010. Another bill to extend coverage through the end of the year is expected to pass Congress before the latest extension expires.

Through the program, involuntarily terminated employees need pay only 35 percent of the COBRA premium. The remainder is paid by the employers, who then get the cost reimbursed by deducting it from their payroll taxes.

The All-In-One COBRA Information Poster will help fulfill the new notice requirements that apply to all businesses that offer health benefits to employees.
