Will we be provided a copy of this presntation?

Okay cool

can we assume we can get the power point after the webinar?

From Me to Everyone: 11:53 AMHello Everyone - Bill Sokol is presenting today. If there is time he will answer questions from the chat room at the end of the presentation. The presentation is being recorded and will be on our web page by tomorrow along with the power point. http://unioncounsel.net/

Re “Voluntary Paid Covid-19 FMLA Extended” — is this the same as FFCRA terms?

relating to FMLA, can a contractor still apply for this even though it expires at the end of the month?

if employer waived FFCRA last year can they change their hearts this time

School District eligible for this new FML? They are saying they are a private entity.

So the 12 weeks of FMLA extension and the 80 hours of extended paid sick leave - if you used the 12 weeks or the 80 hours in 2020, you don't get to use either of these again, is that correct?

incorrect you get a new set

I do not believe you get an additional 12 weeks, but you can continue to use what is remaining. However, I do believe you get an additional 80 hours of paid sick leave.

Will there be links to websites where people can apply for these benefits at the end of PPT?

Did this COBRA benefits exist prior to april 2021?

Are we going to get a copy of all this??

we had members who lost benefits due to lack of hours in 2020

Is Covid time off counted as time worked for the purpose of calculating vacation hours?

Can you opt into COBRA if you declined it prior to 3/1/21 because you didn’t want to pay for it and you enrolled in a marketplace (Obamacare) plan? In other words, can you drop your Obamacare plan and opt back into COBRA effective 4/1/21.

Can you get it if you were fired?

These are reimbursements?

@Bill Sokol - loved your comment on the "Confederacy."

Hi David!

The 86 billion was an estimate. There is no cap on the actual payout amount.

Bravo for the working class!

A lot in an hour. Thank you

Thank you for sharing with us!

Thank you Bill and David and everyone at WRR!

thank you! great information!

Most Excellent and THANK YOU!!!

Excellent Presentation! Thank you!

Thank you. Can you give us advice on how and where to educate ourselves on this?

Where do employers contact for these benefits?

Finally something for the workers

Thank you, Bill. Obviously, stagehands (my union) have suffered incredible loss of work and support during the pandemic. These changes are way overdue, but certainly welcome!

Did you state that the pension plans would be paying back benefits to those that took a reduction in their monthly benefit? and how far back will they be reimbursed? Thank you.

Great info, thank you!

Employers who have been charging 9.5% of earnings for health care have to reduce the cost to workers to 8.5%? Right?

Awesome!! Thank you so much!!

there is any founds extra for Non profit? hourly raise for employees?

You look good Bill!

Are there going to be retribution for past pension reductions to current members that are drawing pensions

Really well done. so much for an hour. Thank you.

Thank you Bill. I always appreciate your ability to breakdown the complex into understandable terms.

the 12 weeks will apply for companies under 25 employees?

If a member used the 80 hrs previously with the FFCRA do they have to work the 6 months before being eligible for the new 80hours?

What does full pension mean people who retired under the rehab plan at a reduced rate?? get put back to money prior to rehab

the 12 weeks will apply for companies under 25 employees for the care of a Child when he is out of school?

When you say the bailout goes back 6 years, does that mean if someone’s pension was reduced will they get a supplemental check to be made whole to 1007

Do you have to requalify for your union health plan if you go to Cobra?

is the monies retro for workers that stayed home with kids

FABULOUS !!!!

and also that plans could not have funds in reserve,

Thank you, Bill. Terrific.

Fantastic presentation! Top of the line.

Truly excellent and so useful!

as always Bill breaks it down in Laymen terms!!

Great Presentation, Bill!

If you have a Marketplace plan and you take the COBRA subsidy, come Oct 1, 2021 are you able to jump back onto the Marketplace or do you have to wait for an open enrollment period?

can a simple one pager be developed to show key benefits relevant to workers?

that we can use for internal education

so if your child goes to school two days a week is it correct that the person could use the 80 for the days they are home?

THANK YOU SO MUCH! Really informative and helpful!!!

Thank you!!

Excellent recap of something extremely complex!!!!!!

Thank you all for a super informative presentation and all the wits
