COBRA Premium Reduction
MCHCP recently implemented COBRA continuation coverage changes included in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) of 2009.
Individuals who are eligible for COBRA coverage because of an employee’s involuntary termination of employment that occurred from September 1, 2008 through December 31, 2009, and who elect COBRA, may be eligible to pay a reduced premium amount that is only 35% of the premium for COBRA coverage for up to 9 months.
