My wife is expecting our second child in February 2009, therefore, I feel compelled to continue healthcare coverage with my employer. I told the benefits director I would like to apply for the cobra premium subsidy and the response was, "We are a non-profit organization and a RMO and we do not fall under the Obama Budget Act." Do i have additional options?

I am interested in keeping my dental insurance under cobra I have not received nothing from my employee yet concerning the cobra packet. My question is that my worked call me and ask if I would be interested in working part-time for them. Can I still get Cobra and the 65% the federal government will pay for my insurance. This working part-time may be for a short time but I don't want to mess up having dental insurance. Any help for me would be appreciated. Thank you Sandy I have now been layed off as of August 7th.

The first hurtle that you have to face is whether your company qualifies for COBRA benefits in the first place. The federal directive for COBRA states: "Plan Coverage - Group health plans for employers with 20 or more employees on more than 50 percent of its typical business days in the previous calendar year are subject to COBRA. Both full and part-time employees are counted to determine whether a plan is subject to COBRA. Each part-time employee counts as a fraction of an employee, with the fraction equal to the number of hours that the part-time employee worked divided by the hours an employee must work to be considered full time." Second, you have to elect for COBRA immediately. I recommend that you contact your employer’s healthcare provider to find out if: they have a minimum of 20 employees and are elegible for COBRA in the first place, and if they are, is there still time to sign up for COBRA? It is nearly May. Certainly you have a health insurance card; the telephone number to contact the insurance company would be on the back. If you are eligible for COBRA coverage, the insurance company should be able to help you with the nine month 65% subsidy. Good luck. Judy,
