IMPACT OF THE ARRA SUBSIDIES ON COBRA HEALTH INSURANCE
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS (FAQs)
PROGRAMMER: ALLOW INTERVIEWER TO VIEW FAQS AT ANY TIME.
WHO/WHICH AGENCY IS SPONSORING THE STUDY?
This study is being sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor.
WHO IS CONDUCTING THE STUDY?
Mathematica, an independent research company, is conducting the study on behalf of the
U.S. Department of Labor. Mathematica has more than 40 years of policy research and program
evaluation experience. You can learn more about Mathematica by visiting our website at
www.mathematica-mpr.com.
WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THE STUDY?
This study is about the health insurance needs and use among workers and their families after
they become unemployed.
WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO PARTICIPATE IN THE STUDY?
Some people who became unemployed between February 17, 2009 and March 31, 2011.
WHAT IS COBRA?
COBRA is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. COBRA was intended
to help prevent loss of health insurance coverage for workers and their families when
employees change or lose their jobs. COBRA benefits are available for a limited time after an
employee separates from a job.
WHAT IS THE ARRA SUBSIDY?
To help workers maintain their coverage, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA)
provided money to help pay insurance premium costs to most COBRA-eligible people who lost
their jobs between September 1, 2008 and May 31, 2010.
I DON’T COLLECT UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS ANYMORE/I COLLECTED THEM FOR A
VERY SHORT TIME.
We are calling people who filed for unemployment insurance benefits between February 2009
and March 2011. Even if you no longer receive or never collected unemployment benefits, your
experience and input is very important to the study. Hearing from people with different
experiences helps us learn more about how being unemployed affects health insurance
coverage for different groups.

15
FAQS – (continued)
I’M DISSATISFIED WITH MY UNEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS/LOCAL AGENCIES.
I understand. Your comments will be especially important to the research. The U.S. Department
of Labor needs to hear from people who were satisfied and people who were dissatisfied with
their experiences.
HOW DID YOU GET MY NAME?
Your name was scientifically selected from among persons in your state who filed for
unemployment insurance benefits between February 17, 2009 and March 31, 2011.
IS THE SURVEY CONFIDENTIAL?
Yes. All of the information we collect in the survey will be kept confidential as provided in the
Privacy Act and will be used for research purposes only. Your answers will be combined with
the answers of other survey participants. Your name will never be used in any reports. Only
members of the study team will have information about you.
HOW LONG WILL THIS TAKE?
The length of the interview is different for different people, but it usually takes between 40 and
45 minutes.
I DON’T HAVE THE TIME.
We can schedule a call to do the survey at your convenience. Our interviewers are available to
speak with you seven days a week as follows: on Mondays through Thursdays from 9:00 A.M. to
12:00 midnight, on Fridays from 9:00 A.M. to 8:00 P.M., Saturdays from 9:00 A.M.-5:00 P.M. and
Sundays from 1:00 P.M. to 9:00 P.M. Eastern Standard Time. We can also complete the survey
in more than one call, if necessary.
WHAT HAPPENS IF I DON’T PARTICIPATE IN THE SURVEY?
Your participation is voluntary and will not affect your eligibility to receive any services or
benefits. Your selection for the survey was done scientifically. You were chosen to represent
other people who received unemployment insurance benefits in your area. Your answers will
help the U.S. Department of Labor improve services to people who become unemployed. There
are no right or wrong answers. We’re interested in your experiences and opinions.
I’M NOT INTERESTED.
Let me reassure you that we are not selling anything. The questions we ask will help the
U.S. Department of Labor improve services to people who are unemployed. There are no right
or wrong answers. We’re interested in your experiences and opinions. Your answers will be
combined with those of others and reported in summary form. Your name will never be included
in any report. If you qualify and complete the survey, we will pay you ($30/$40) as a token of our
appreciation.

FAQS – (continued)
WHO GAVE YOU THE AUTHORITY TO CONDUCT THE STUDY?
This study is being sponsored by the U.S. Department of Labor and has been approved by the
U.S. Office of Management and Budget under OMB Control Number 1291-0001. Without this
approval we would not be able to conduct this survey.
WILL I BE PAID?
Yes, we will mail you a check in the amount of ($40/$30) within 2 weeks of completing the
survey.
WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR ME NOW? ARE YOU GOING TO HELP ME FIND A
JOB OR HELP ME WITH HEALTH CARE COVERAGE?
Mathematica is a private, independent research firm. Our company is conducting this study for
the U.S. Department of Labor, and this survey is part of the study. We cannot provide
assistance finding jobs or health care. You will, however, receive ($40/$30) for completing the
survey.
I’M ON THE NATIONAL “DO NOT CALL LIST/REGISTRY.” WHY ARE YOU CALLING ME?
The do not call list or registry applies to telemarketing calls, not to calls like this one that are
approved by the government. Lawmakers recognize the need for the public to participate in
studies like this to learn how government programs are working and how to improve them. We
will not sell you anything, nor will we ask for money. Your privacy will be respected, and your
cooperation is appreciated. For more information on who is included and excluded on the do not
call list, you can visit the website at www.donotcall.gov.
DOES THE MONEY I RECEIVE FOR COMPLETING THIS SURVEY COUNT TOWARDS MY
INCOME FOR THIS YEAR?
No, the money received for completing this survey is not considered employment income.
Employment income is generated from an employment contract. This is a one-time payment for
volunteering to take part in the survey.
WHO CAN I CONTACT FOR MORE INFORMATION?
For more information about the study, you can visit the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) website
at http://www.dol.gov/. You can also call the study’s project officer, Mr. Jonathan Simonetta of
DOL at (202) 693-5085or Mathematica’s Project Director, Dr. Anu Rangarajan at 609-936-2765.
For questions about the survey you can call Mathematica’s Survey Director, Julita
Milliner-Waddell at 609-275-2206.

Compared to what you pay while you are employed, does your premium increase, decrease, or

Now I would like to ask you a couple of general questions about the rules for receiving the
COBRA subsidy. Please tell me your best guess in response to these questions. Don’t worry if
you don’t know the exact answer.
ADD IF NECESSARY: The U.S. Department of Labor would like to know how well people
understand the health insurance aspects of ARRA rules and regulations.
First, with the COBRA subsidy, would your COBRA premium be the same, higher, or lower than
what you would have paid without the program?
PROBE: The premium is the amount you pay—the amount deducted from your paycheck—to
maintain health insurance coverage.
