Short-term Cobra Subsidy and UI Extension
On Tuesday, March 2, President Obama signed H.R. 4691, the "Temporary Extension act of 2010" into law providing short-term extensions to the COBRA subsidy program and unemployment benefits through April 5, 2010, among other authorities.
These “short-term” extensions of the COBRA subsidy and unemployment benefits are intended to give Congress more time to consider legislation to extend these programs through 2010. Under H.R. 4213, a bill the Senate is currently debating, both the COBRA subsidy program and unemployment benefits would be extended through December 31, 2010.
