COBRA premiums are set for a 12-month period. Note the end of the premium subsidy period. COBRA premium subsidies instituted by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 expired May 31, 2010; COBRA beneficiaries who received benefits between Sept. 1, 2008 and May 31, 2010 were eligible for reduced premiums.
Labor day is celebrated in the month of September every year.
In the United States and Canada, however, the official holiday for workers is Labor Day in September. After the Haymarket Square riot in May, 1886, US President Grover Cleveland feared that commemorating Labor Day on May 1 could become an opportunity to commemorate the riots.
