FAQ
Employers who fail to comply with the COBRA requirements can be required to pay a steep price. Failure to provide the COBRA election notice within this time period can subject employers to a penalty of up to $110 per day, as well as the cost of medical expenses incurred by the qualified beneficiary.
There are several other scenarios that may explain why you received a COBRA continuation notice even if you've been in your current position for a long time: You may be enrolled in a new plan annually and, therefore, receive a notice each year. Your employer may have just begun offering a health insurance plan.
If You Do Not Receive Your COBRA PaperworkReach out to the Human Resources Department and ask for the COBRA Administrator. They may use a third-party administrator to handle your enrollment. If the employer still does not comply you can call the Department of Labor at 1-866-487-2365.
The initial notice, also referred to as the general notice, communicates general COBRA rights and obligations to each covered employee (and his or her spouse) who becomes covered under the group health plan.
Your employer must mail you the COBRA information and forms within 14 days after receiving notification of the qualifying event. You are responsible for making sure your COBRA coverage goes into and stays in effect - if you do not ask for COBRA coverage before the deadline, you may lose your right to COBRA coverage.
How long does it take for COBRA to kick in? With all paperwork properly submitted, your COBRA coverage should begin on the first day of your qualifying event (for example, the first day you are no longer with your employer), ensuring no gaps in your coverage.
COBRA is automatically available to you if you stop working at a qualified employer that provided group health insurance, but your participation in the program is not automatic. You must complete an enrollment form within the specified period of time and pay your first insurance premium.
In addition, employers can provide COBRA notices electronically (via email, text message, or through a website) during the Outbreak Period, if they reasonably believe that plan participants and beneficiaries have access to these electronic mediums.
Q11: How long does COBRA coverage last? COBRA requires that continuation coverage extend from the date of the qualifying event for a limited period of 18 or 36 months.
If You Do Not Receive Your COBRA PaperworkReach out to the Human Resources Department and ask for the COBRA Administrator. They may use a third-party administrator to handle your enrollment. If the employer still does not comply you can call the Department of Labor at 1-866-487-2365.
