Minnesota Adds Additional State Subsidy - COBRA Premiums

The state of Minnesota recently added a new provision in their state human services bill to provide an additional state subsidy to cover 35% of COBRA premiums for certain low income individuals living in Minnesota, who are also eligible for the federal COBRA subsidy. To collect the state subsidy, an individual must:
