Reply #9: Does anyone know if the COBRA subsidy is extended to someone on long term disability? [View All]

My brother is dealing with lung cancer, has used up his FMLA and PTO and will be let go from his job this week. He does have long term disability insurance (private insurance, not Social Security disability) but it doesn't pay much and no way can he afford COBRA. I've been keeping up his insurance payments (direct to his employer) while he's been on short term disability but I don't know if I'll be able to keep the COBRA payments going.
