HEALTH SUBSIDY INFO FOR DISLOCATED WORKERS

The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), as amended on December 19, 2009 by the Department of Defense Appropriations Act (2010 DOD Act), provides for premium reductions for health benefits under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985. The 2010 DOD Act extended the COBRA premium reduction eligibility period for two months until February 28, 2010 and increased the maximum period for receiving the subsidy for an additional six months (from 9 to 15 months). Eligible individuals pay only 35 percent of their COBRA premiums, and the remaining 65 percent is reimbursed to the health coverage provider through a tax credit. Eligible individuals must have been involuntarily terminated from their jobs between September 1, 2008 and February 28, 2010. The premium reduction applies to periods of health coverage that began on or after February 17, 2009, and the premium reduction lasts for up to 15 months.

The U.S. Department of Labor’s (DOL) Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) has a dedicated Web site that explains the COBRA extension (www.dol.gov/ebsa/cobra.html).
