Ep 102: COBRA Subsidies under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (ARPA)

In this special episode, Suzanne Spradley and Chase Cannon discuss the COBRA subsidies that are a big part of the recently-enacted ARPA. Suzanne starts the discussion with a history of past COBRA subsidies, including in 2002 and 2008/09, comparing them to the ARPA subsidies. Suzanne then answers Chase’s rapid fire questions on the ARPA COBRA subsidies, including the amount and duration, who is eligible, employer involvement, notice requirements, and interactions with COBRA administrators and vendors.
