COBRA is mandatory, but the person laid off has to pay for it

Isn't COBRA for layoffs not shutdowns?

Only if there still is a group health plan to pay for. If the company has shut down, there is no health plan, and therefore no COBRA. (Although, in general, with ACA, marketplace plans are not clearly worse than COBRA would have been.)
