I'm paying $341 a month thru COBRA for a decent PPO. It's $1000 deductible, but when I reach the $1000, my (ex) employer will refund $400 of it directly to me. Supposedly, starting in March of this year, the new stimulus plan will pay 65% of my COBRA payment for 9 months. The people at COBRA said they don't know how long it will take for the paperwork to catch up, but it will be retroactive to my March 1 payment and I will be credited for any overpayment starting then. So it looks like I can skip a payment or two once it kicks in, depending on how long that will take. I'm not holding my breath. BTW, I'm also supposed to get an extra $25/wk in unemployment benefits effective March 1st. I'm not holding my breath for that one, either.
