About This Course:
The webinar will explain who is eligible for the subsidized benefits and how employers can obtain the subsidy.
The material will also discuss the latest Department of Labor guidance on the suspension of COBRA and other deadlines. The subsidized COBRA rules were effective April 1, 2021, so employers have very little time to comply with the new law.
