Does anyone know if you have to include severance as part of one’s income to determine eligibility for the COBRA stimulus package subsidy? Getting any information about this from my former employer is nigh on impossible.
Thanks!

the CA senate is holding the CAL COBRA program up by not yet passing the law that will make people from small organizations eligible. Also, don’t look for much savings…..my regular COBRA premium per month was $1,158 and that was raised to $1,486!!! I am sure that if they get the 65% subsidy Blue Cross Anthem will jack up the rates again

I have been paying for regular COBRA and recently went on CAL COBRA. I lost my job January 20th, 2009. However, I was never put on their health plan. Instead I continued on COBRA because the coverage was much better and my boss wanted to keep his costs down. So, my COBRA is tied to the job I had 18 months before my most recent job. Can I still get the reduction? I am still looking for work and on EDD at present. Thank you, Lisa Schiffman

I need to know how to apply for the Blue Cross 65% payment, my previous employers says they don’t know anything about the program.

Yes – for Cal-COBRA – how do we take advantage of this 65% break? I am paying out of pocket for right now and the pockets are getting flatter and flatter….

Any suggestions would help as my former employer seems to have no answers. Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I qualify but my big question is how to I get the break? I can’t seem to find the “rules” which doesn’t surprise me. Any suggestions? Thanks.
