The 65% COBRA premium subsidy has recently been extended. Under the “Temporary Extensions Act of 2010,” the subsidy will now apply to involuntary terminations occurring on or before March 31, 2010 (rather than February 28, 2010).
Under the new extension, certain individuals who experienced a reduction in work hours before the Extension Act’s March 2 enactment date, and who are involuntarily terminated on or after that date, may now qualify for the subsidy.
If you have had your hours of work reduced between September 1, 2009 and March 2, 2010 and then were terminated on or after March 2, 2010 you may qualify for the 65% COBRA reduction. If you have questions concerning whether you qualify for the COBRA premium reduction, please contact Jensen Law Office, LLC to further discuss your situation.
