When it comes to dealing with COBRA, many employers, as well as former employees, look to PBS for helpful clarification regarding the often confusing IRS regulations. This has been especially true recently, with the passage of the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) passed by President Obama in February of 2009. PBS was able to quickly review the new law, discern the ramifications of the administrative changes and update their software to handle the changes required by the new law. In addition, they educated their staff as to the details of the new program, communicated the new law and it's affects to employers and implemented plans for its enactment in just a few weeks, mitigating the questions and confusion surrounding this new legislation.
