Friday COBRA/ARRA Update

As we noted previously, the latest COBRA/ARRA extension peters out at the end of this month. But according to admin guru Ceridian Benefit Services, it's looking increasingly likely that the extension will be, well, extended:

"Recently the Senate Budget Committee passed a bill that outlines the Senate’s health care priorities for the rest of the year. While the budget bill is not law, it signals that the Senate may extend eligibility for unemployment insurance and COBRA premiums subsidy until the end of the year."

No word yet on how we'd actually, you know, pay for that.
