New COBRA Subsidy Extension Announced
Latest Information on the COBRA Subsidy Extension
On December 19, 2009, President Obama signed into law an extension to the COBRA subsidy benefits. This extension increases the maximum subsidy period from (9) months to (15) months.
This legislation applies to laid-off workers who are covered by Federal COBRA (businesses with 20 or more employees) as well as those covered under Connecticut's state continuation law (businesses with less than 20 employees).
