For those of you on COBRA: The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA) enacted a new 65 percent subsidy for COBRA premiums paid by qualified beneficiaries who lose coverage because of a covered employee’s involuntary termination from employment at any time from September 1, 2008, through December 31, 2009. Those who are eligible for the subsidy are called assistance-eligible individuals (AEIs).

You are supposed to be notified by your plan by April 18, but in case you want to see what the notice will say, go to:
