So, for example, in San Diego County in California, the VA loan limit for 2015 is $562,350. In Frederick County, Md., the limit is $625,500.
Retiree-only health plans are still subject to COBRAâs requirements, however, because COBRA does not. include a specific exception for such plans, even when they are separate from an active employee plan.

Overview. COBRA is not a health insurance plan. It's a law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. It protects you and your family if you lose your employer-sponsored health benefits. If you qualify for COBRA coverage, then you have the option of continuing your employer-sponsored health plan for a limited period of time.
