Employee Benefits Update - April 2010
04/26/2010
As described more extensively in our March 2009 issue of Employee Benefits Update, the Children's Health Insurance Program Reauthorization Act of 2009 ("CHIPRA"¯) allows states to offer premium assistance subsidies to pay for coverage under an employer-sponsored group health plan for low-income children and their parents. States may either reimburse employees the amount paid for employer group health coverage or pay employers directly.
