A client left her job and was offered COBRA. Her husband works in his family's business (not a shareholder) and they are willing to pay the COBRA payments. The COBRA plan is better and less expensive then the plan offered by his employer. With the new rules that a company can't pay for a policy in a individual's name, would this be allowed since it's a COBRA payment?
I reviewed it with a payroll service, but the response was not definitive.
Thanks,
