If you mean the form an employer would use to request the 65% subsidy from the government, then you will want to use the IRS Form 941 that you can obtain from our site at the URL: http://cobracontrol.files.wordpress.com/2009/02/f9411.pdf. This form would be used to report you quaterly tax withholdings, and now includes specific information about ARRA for COBRA. If you are referring to making a COBRA election through your former employer, then you should use the enrollment form they provide along with the Qualifying Event Notice they are supposed to provide to you. <strong>The information contained herein is for informational purposes only and is not intended as legal or tax advice, nor is it intended to advise you of your obligations under ERISA, COBRA, HIPAA, a State’s “Mini-COBRA,” or the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.
