Most employers are aware that they are currently responsible for paying 65% of the medical insurance premium for employees who are terminated between September 1, 2008 and February 28, 2010. That subsidy was extended another month through March 31, 2010 under federal law (H.R. 4691). Remember also that the subsidy may continue for up to 15 months.
