You can still remain on COBRA for the determined eligibility period, usually 18 months, even though you are eligible for other coverage. Are you are eligible for the stimulus, where you only pay 35% of the full premium amount during the first 9 months of COBRA? If so, be advised you would no longer qualify for the stimulus rate if you are eligible for other group coverage.
