COBRA continuation coverage

Employers who layoff employees who are subject to COBRA (continuation of medical benefits under federal law) must pay 65% of the premium under federal law.

If you earn more than the income limit you will have to pay back the amount paid to you, as a tax.

The IRS has issued rules about eligibility for the 65% payment of COBRA coverage:
