The Chillicothe City Council on January 25th approved 2021 COBRA rates and a resolution adopting the Hazard Mitigation Plan.
City Administrator Darin Chappell explains if someone leaves the employment of the city, he or she is entitled to have COBRA coverage on health insurance for 18 months with the city insurance company.
The city has to set the COBRA rate each year because the city is partially self-insured. He notes this year’s rate is less than last year’s. The specific rate was not provided to KTTN.
The Hazard Mitigation Plan allows the City of Chillicothe to have access to Federal Emergency Management Agency funding if there was a disaster. The city has to adopt the plan every five years to qualify.
