COBRA premiums are generally the responsibility of the individual, but there are a few options for financial assistance:
- The Health Insurance Marketplace may offer subsidized plans that could be more affordable than COBRA. A qualifying event for COBRA also allows for a special enrollment period in the Marketplace.
- State programs may offer assistance for individuals who meet income requirements.
- In some cases, an employer may subsidize COBRA premiums for a limited time as part of a severance package.
It is recommended to compare COBRA costs with other available coverage options to find the best fit for your financial situation.
