This is the best information I have found so far on this subject on the internet, thank you for that. My question is, what if the business is no longer paying any payroll taxes at all, as it has laid off all employees (who are eligible for COBRA) and is just down to the principal partners (who are not taking a salary at this point)?

Significant changes are coming to COBRA administration. Currently, the House (H.R. 598) and Senate (S. 29) are considering proposals that would subsidize coverage and expand the amount of coverage available for older and long-tenured employees.
