HR responded:
"COBRA payments that are paid to the employee by the employer are considered wages and subject to applicable taxes.
The intent of those payments is that the employee will use the funds to pay the COBRA premiums.
When the employee pays for COBRA premium to the insurance company, those payments made by the employee are considered tax-deductible to the employee.
When filing taxes, COBRA premium payments can be deducted as medical expenses. With this consideration, the Federal income tax is typically not withheld on COBRA."
