The federal government has extended the eligibility for the Cobra subsidy for terminated employees through the end of May.
In addition, Maine has added a newly eligible category of individual under it’s “Mini-Cobra” provisions. Those eligible for the subsidy will now include permanently laid-off individuals, where in the past there had to be an intent of the employer to re-hire the individual in the near future.
Please find more details of the federal subsidy in the attached article. As more information and forms become available, we will provide you with information here.
