COBRA
Subsidy: NJ Department of Banking &
Insurance Releases Guidelines for Small NJ Employers
On February 17, 2009, President Barack Obama signed the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), commonly called the Stimulus Plan. ARRA provides for premium reductions and additional election opportunities for health benefits under Federal continuation, commonly called COBRA. Eligible individuals pay only 35% of the COBRA premium and the remaining 65% is reimbursed to the coverage provider (such as an insurance company or HMO or other plan) through a tax credit. The premium reduction applies to periods of health coverage beginning on or after February 17, 2009 and lasts for up to nine months.

Independence Blue Cross now makes getting healthy more
attractive by rewarding members for taking steps toward a healthier lifestyle
through a new incentive program, Healthy Lifestyle Rewards. The new program is
a key part of IBC's strategic efforts to help members take a more active role
in their health and become better-informed consumers of health care. Since
research shows that healthier people use health care services less often than
unhealthy people, everyone - employers and their employees alike - saves money
when members make wise choices for their well-being.
