week, Governor David Patterson (NY) submitted a bill to ensure that New Yorkers 
laid off by small business can qualify for federal benefits that pay up to 65% 
of COBRA health insurance premiums. <A 
href="http://www.dol.gov/dol/topic/health-plans/cobra.htm">COBRA</A>, or the 
Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 gives workers and their 
families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue coverage 
provided by their <A

a limited period of time. </SPAN></P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.healthplanone.com/blog/index.php/2009/03/24/uncategorized/bill-proposed-by-ny-governor-to-ensure-continued-access-to-health-coverage-for-unemployed.html"><SPAN style="mso-bidi-font-family: 'Times New Roman'"><SPAN

Recovery and reinvestment Act (ARRA), signed into law in February, makes a 
subsidy of 65% available to help cover the cost of COBRA health insurance 
premiums. Income limitations apply and no subsidies are available to individuals 
making annual incomes greater than $125,000 and couples making more than 
$250,000 annually. </SPAN></SPAN></SPAN></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/50EE404B-D0C3-4684-956B-019E48B04068/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
