Author: Tod Yeslow, Jeff Dixon

The federal subsidy for COBRA continuation coverage is now extended to employees who lose group health plan coverage because of an involuntary separation of employment between December 31, 2009, and February 28, 2010. The maximum period of subsidized coverage for any eligible individual is increased from nine to fifteen months. As a result of this legislation, it is advisable to immediately contact your COBRA administrator to confirm that the proper procedures, notifications, and participant communications to satisfy the legislative changes are in place for your plan.
