More American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009 goodies. CDSS will not pay, and cannot claim reimbursement for the 65 percent COBRA subsidy under the federal law. For purposes of COBRA, the entity administering the health benefit, typically the county or an entity they delegate this to, such as the Public Authority (PA), will need to modify its current accounting procedures to include the COBRA claiming process. The ACL includes model notices to employees. [Download]
