COBRA Continuation Coverage
|
The U.S. Department of Labor's program for the review of denials of the COBRA premium reduction under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) has ended. The COBRA premium reduction was available for individuals who experienced involuntary terminations on or before May 31, 2010. The COBRA premium reduction under ARRA is not available for individuals who experience involuntary terminations after May 31, 2010; therefore the eligibility period for the subsidy has passed. For anyone with extenuating circumstances who believes they may be eligible for the premium reduction, contact the Department's Employee Benefits Security Administration at www.askebsa.dol.gov or by calling 1-866-444-3272.
