Ceridian Benefits Services will explain employer requirements under new COBRA law

Minneapolis, March 12, 2009 - Ceridian Corporation, a leading provider of managed human resource, employee benefits administration and payroll outsourcing solutions, announced today that it will sponsor an educational Web forum March 26, 2009, to help employers understand the new COBRA subsidy law recently enacted as part of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA).

Understanding the New COBRA Subsidy Law Under ARRA is one of an ongoing series of free presentations produced by Ceridian for HR, benefits and payroll professionals. The Web forum will be broadcast live at 1 p.m. EST on March 26, 2009. For those who are interested but unable to attend on March 26, the forum will also be broadcast live at 1 p.m. EST on March 27 and March 30.

Pre-registration is available at the Ceridian Understanding the New COBRA Subsidy Law Under ARRA registration page.

ARRA introduced significant new changes to COBRA health care continuation coverage. Some of the key questions Ceridian's forum will answer include:

• What is required of employers and when must they act?


• Who is eligible?


• What are the new law's key milestones?


• What is the risk of non-compliance?


• What is Ceridian doing to help employers implement these changes?

A replay of Ceridian's most recent Web forum - How to Generate Cost Savings from Your Benefits Programs - is available on the Ceridian Leadership Web Forum page.
