Thank you for your contributions to the community. For 2010, we will be changing to a php based board, with user profiles that will bring the site up to web 2.0. Let me know if there is anything you would like to suggest. All messages are backed and will be transferred over to the new board.

Wishing you great success in 2010!

: 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.
