COBRA Subsidy Update

Previously we informed you the COBRA Subsidy program had been extended to March 31, 2010 and that there was a possibility it might be extended to the end of April 2010 or possibly through the end of the year if pending legislation was passed.  It is our understanding the Senate members adjourned for the Easter break without voting on the House-approved legislation that would have extended the program through April.  When Congress returns on April 12 it is expected they’ll seek to provide benefits retroactively to April 1, 2010.  We will update you as information becomes available.
