COBRA Administration - Intermediate Skills Part I Training Seminar
Now in its 19th year, COBRA continues to get more complex. The just released DOL regs, the IRS regs, the recent interpretation regarding Medicare, and numerous important court rulings make navigating through COBRA a tricky prospect - - fraught with serious, adverse consequences for the inexperienced.
This webcast will use numerous examples to illustrate how the rules work in actual practice, and will cover:
- Employers who are and are not subject to COBRA
- The types of benefits that are required to be offered
- Who is a Qualified Beneficiary (QB), and what their rights are under the law
- Who is often mistaken for a QB, but is not, and is therefore not entitled to benefit continuation rights
- The premium payments that are required, the deadline for accepting them, and the proper treatment of amounts that are not exactly correct
- The different types of Qualifying Events and what benefit offerings must be made for each.
In discussing each of these crucial concepts, we will address many tricky issues that can arise in the administration of COBRA, including:
- When you might have to offer COBRA even though an employee hasn't actually lost coverage
- When an EAP must be offered as a continuation benefit under COBRA
- What you must offer as a continuation benefit to health flexible spending arrangement and HRA participants (and their spouses and dependents)
- When a spouse or dependent is not a QB
- How to handle multiple Qualifying Events (e.g., termination of employment and subsequent divorce)
- When and how to offer COBRA if coverage is terminated "in anticipation of divorce" (e.g., an employee drops his/her spouse from coverage at open enrollment and is divorced shortly thereafter)
- How to administer the "short payment" rule when a QB doesn't make a full premium payment
- Why failure to strictly adhere to the rules governing the timing of elections and payments, and the amount of the payments can result in potentially catastrophic consequences (even if you are trying to bend over backwards to help out a deserving Qualified Beneficiary)
With all of the new guidance and evolving court cases, this is a convenient, cost effective opportunity to sharpen your skills on these and many more critical COBRA requirements. We have earned a reputation for making complicated issues clear, straightforward, and - - believe it or not - - enjoyable! Register today for this valuable webcast.
