    Governor Jindal Announces New Legislative Priorities to Crack Down on Sexual Predators

    SHREVEPORT – Surrounded by law enforcement officials and area legislators at the Caddo Parish Sheriff Correctional Facility today in Shreveport, Governor Bobby Jindal announced new legislative priorities to crack down on sexual predators in the next legislative session. The Governor highlighted five legislative priority areas that will strengthen the ability of law enforcement to track down and punish monsters that prey on children.

     

    Governor Jindal said, “To date, many of our efforts to crack down on sex offenders have been aimed at making streets, schools and homes safer for our children. But, we know the newest front in our battle to protect children has now shifted to the virtual world of the Internet. While we have passed some important laws already to keep our kids safe from those who prey on them online, the internet is an ever-changing area that demands our tactics and our laws evolve quickly to stay ahead of sex predators.

     

    “We know the ever-advancing technology online, coupled with the perception of anonymity, create an environment that can be as dangerous to children as anything they could encounter on the street. Our package to crack down on sex predators this year attacks these monsters right where they are hiding today – online. Our legislation this year will work to peel away the layers of anonymity associated with child sex-related crimes on the internet and punish offenders so we are creating a safer environment for our children

  • Job Loss Tips 
      

    • Allow yourself to be upset or even afraid. These are natural reactions. However, should they become intense, be willing to seek professional help. Talking things through and hearing another person's perspective can bring relief and restore your positive outlook.

    • Resist the urge to tell your boss what you truly think of him or her. Remember, you may need him or her as a reference for a future job.

    • Take advantage of any assistance your workplace offers. Many companies provide placement assistance, job retraining and severance packages. Make sure you are aware of all benefits offered.

    • Apply for any applicable government benefits. Your HR representative at work will be a good resource.

    • Resist the urge to solve your problems by spending recklessly. It may feel good for the moment, but the high of spending won't equal the low of dealing with additional debt when there is no income.

  • COBRA Health Coverage 
    What is COBRA

    Congress passed the landmark Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) health benefit provisions in 1986.  The law amends the Employee Retirement Income Security Act, the Internal Revenue Code and the Public Health Service Act to provide continuation of group health coverage that otherwise might be terminated

    What does COBRA do

    COBRA provides certain former employees, retirees, spouses, former spouses, and dependent children the right to temporary continuation of health coverage at group rates.  This coverage, however, is only available when coverage is lost due to certain specific events.  Group health coverage for COBRA participants is usually more expensive than health coverage for active employees, since usually the employer pays a part of the premium for active employees while COBRA participants generally pay the entire premium themselves.  It is ordinarily less expensive, though, than individual health coverage

    Who is entitled to benefits under COBRA

    Qualifying Events - Qualifying events are certain events that would cause an individual to lose health coverage.  The type of qualifying event will determine who the qualified beneficiaries are and the amount of time that a plan must offer the health coverage to them under COBRA.  A plan, at its discretion,  may provide longer periods of continuation coverage.
