Employer COBRA communication duties You have to notify covered employees and covered spouses of their initial rights under COBRA when they first join the plan. You have to notify covered persons of their election rights to continue coverage after a qualifying event occurs.

You have 60 days to enroll in COBRA once your employer-sponsored benefits end. Even if your enrollment is delayed, you will be covered by COBRA starting the day your prior coverage ended.
