Calculate the former employeeâs premium by adding up to a 2 percent administration fee to the current premium rate. COBRA beneficiaries pay the full health insurance premium plus a 2 percent administration fee. If monthly premiums for employees with single coverage are $200, for example; the COBRA beneficiary pays 102 percent of that amount, or $204. Spouses and children also may be covered.
Heli-skiing. In Alaska, you donât need to be an expert skier or snowboarder in order to heli-ski. The season runs from late winter to spring, February through April, a time with prime snow conditions, increased daylight hours and safest flying conditions.
Cruise season in Alaska runs from May through September, although some companies offer sailings in late April and early October. Typically seven to 14 days in length, cruises tend to follow one of two major routes: southeast Alaskaâs Inside Passage or glacier cruises to south central Alaska. The best time for an Alaska cruise depends on your schedule, budget, and preferences regarding weather and other seasonal factors.
