As soon as your Dad is eligible for insurance under his new company, I'm sure your Mom will be covered.

COBRA can charge up to 102%, but i think there is currently a subsidy if he is currently unemployed. Also im pretty sure you can continue on COBRA coverage even if you start a new job with insurance benefits, as long as you dont use them. But if your family started COBRA in 2008 then its probably been about 18 months.
