: If an employee has been covered with Company Insurance and is leaving employ on December 24, can he/she get Cobra coverage where the employee pays 35% and whoever (?) pays 65% of the premium? I understand the program ends 12/31/09 and want to make sure the employee will be covered for 6 or 9 months?
The employee (and covered dependents) would only qualify for the stimulus if they were involuntarily terminated without gross misconduct before 12/31/09. The stimulus allows you to only be responsible for 35% of the premium for the first 9 months of COBRA.
