To counter that, the VA institutes higher loan limits in costlier counties, basically increasing the amount qualified borrowers can get without having to put money down. 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.

Contact your ex-employerâs benefits administrator to learn your last date of coverage. At this point in time, you should be eligible for COBRA health insurance coverage.Under COBRA, if you voluntarily resign from a job, youâre entitled to continue your employer's group plan for up to 18 months at your own expense.
