Description

The COBRA Continuation Coverage Election Form is a crucial document that enables eligible individuals to elect continuation coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). This form must be completed and submitted within 60 days from the notice date to preserve the right to COBRA coverage. Users are required to fill in their personal details, including name, date of birth, relationship to the employee, and Social Security Number or identifier, as well as select coverage options for themselves or dependents. The form can be submitted by mail or other specified means, but must be post-marked by the designated due date. It is important for users to understand that they can change their initial decision to reject COBRA coverage if they submit the completed form before the deadline. For attorneys, partners, owners, associates, paralegals, and legal assistants, this form is essential for guiding clients through their rights and options regarding health insurance coverage after employment ends. Clear instructions ensure compliance with federal requirements and help avoid loss of coverage rights. Legal professionals can also use this form to advise clients on their timelines and the repercussions of failing to submit the form on time.
