Who Qualifies For Cobra Stimulus?

Under the recently enacted federal stimulus package, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, certain eligible individuals may be entitled to a 65% reduction in their premium payment.

To be eligible for this reduction you must have first been eligible for COBRA between September 1, 2008 and December 31st, 2009 due to involuntary loss of employment during this time period.  Any person that is eligible to be covered under another group health insurance plan, such as that available through a spouse's employer, are not eligible for this reduction of premium.
