humojo.wordpress.com
The law extends the enrollment periods to 120 days from60 days. The often called “mini-COBRA,” will ultimately allow employees to receiv the federalstimulus package’s 65 percent COBRA premiumk subsidy.

The federal stimulus packagw contains two provisions that expand the benefitds available to employees whose jobs havebeen eliminated. It extends the election period for eligible employees to determiner whether they wish to enroll in the federalCOBRA program. The new N.C. law provides the same extendefd election periodfor mini-COBRA in North Carolina.

Depending on the size of the formerr employer, either the employe r or the insurance provider fronts 65 percent of the premiunm amount and then recoups that expense through federa l payrolltax credits.
