FAQ

Federal Law (COBRA) Under federal law, employees who have a reduction in work hours or terminate employment for any reason other than gross misconduct may continue their group coverage for up to 18 months. (A spouse and dependents are also covered.)

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) permits employees and their dependents to extend health coverage under an employer's group health plan when coverage would otherwise be lost due to termination of employment or other qualifying events. Under COBRA, employees must receive specific notices

When does COBRA continuation coverage startCOBRA is always effective the day after your active coverage ends. For most, active coverage terminates at the end of a month and COBRA is effective on the first day of the next month.

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.

Plan Coverage Group health plans for employers with 20 or more employees on more than 50 percent of its typical business days in the previous calendar year are subject to COBRA. Both full and part-time employees are counted to determine whether a plan is subject to COBRA.

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss,

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.

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.

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.

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.
