Read this informative article from Feed the Pig.org, dated 3/16/2009:“In the past, laid-off employees who wanted to continue with their employer’s group health insurance plan could do so with COBRA — but they had to pay 100 percent of the premium. The new stimulus package, however, provides some relief to the newly unemployed and their families. It includes a provision that subsidizes 65 percent of a laid-off worker’s COBRA health insurance premium.
The coverage applies to workers laid-off between Sept. 1, 2008 and Dec. 31, 2009 and lasts for nine months. The subsidy begins to phase out at annual income levels of $125,000 for individuals and $250,000 for couples.
This new COBRA health care option gives the unemployed a less expensive health insurance option. Read more on the Cobra Health Care Subsidy.”
