COBRA

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.

Centenary News

KSCL 91.3 FM, Centenary College Radio, is now streaming online and can be heard world wide at www.kscl.fm, says Casey McBeath. Tues night DJ Chris Brown said, "I've heard from friends of mine in Little Rock, San Francisco and Baton Rouge who have been able to tune in to my weekly show, Romp & Stomp."

Get the listener link at http://www.centenary.edu/kscl/.

KSCl slipped onto the air in 1976 with a total range of 2 miles, says media prof Michael Laffey. Since then the station has seen numerous upgrades, including the 1988 transition to stereo and the 2006 shout-up to 2,100 watts of transmitting power, allowing most of the Shreveport-Bossier area to tune in.

The station broadcasts 24 hours a day and prides itself on being dedicated to community events and alternative music, from college rock and jazz to local and regional music.

KSCL is a student-run radio station, sys McBeath. The DJs are all volunteers, and the governing positions are filled by students.
The number to call with requests and epiphanies is 318 869 5297. Remember, though, that it's a small shop and there's no guarantee that someone can leap to field your call.
