Are Non-U.S. Citizens Eligible For COBRA?

I’d like to know if a non-U.S. citizen (non-resident alien) on an F1 student visa, who receives an income from a U.S. company is eligible for COBRA insurance for a few months?

If you are legally in the United States, you are eligible for COBRA if you lost your employer-sponsored health insurance.

It’s not exactly clear from the details you’ve given, but it sounds like you are looking for a short-term option. Those available, as well as other alternative plans to COBRA, which are much more affordable.
