COBRA Uncertainty Complicates Administration: Subsidy Extension Likely, But Firms Face Choices

Excerpt: [F]or many beneficiaries, that subsidy has come to an end. The subsidy expired at the end of November for beneficiaries who have received the nine-month subsidy since it first became available, which generally was March 1. As a result, in December billing statements some employers and plan administrators have asked beneficiaries to pay the full COBRA premium, instead of 35%. 'We have already set up a 100% billing for December,' said Kathy Dupree, benefits manager at Core Laboratories Inc., a Houston-based company that provides services to petroleum companies. But some plan administrators -- especially those that send out payment booklets for COBRA beneficiaries -- say that for now they are not sending out new booklets asking beneficiaries to pay the full premium. 'It is a calculated risk,' acknowledges Linda Anderson, benefit administration consultant in Watson Wyatt's Chicago office.
