New COBRA Rules
The economic stimulus bill passed by Congress - the
American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009
(H.R.1) - contains a significant modification of the
COBRA continuation coverage rules, which is
generally effective March 1, 2009. Very generally,
under the bill, individuals who become eligible for
COBRA by reason of an involuntary termination of employment during the September 1, 2008 and December 31, 2009 period are only required to pay 35% of the COBRA premium. The remainder of the premium is generally subsidized by the employer, which is reimbursed through a payroll tax credit. With respect to any individual, this subsidy expires can last up to nine months. High-income individuals generally must repay the subsidy through a recapture tax.
