COBRA Facts
- COBRA provides temporary group rates for former employees, retirees, spouses, former spouses, and dependent children. This is provided for up to 18 months of coverage.
- COBRA group coverage is usually more expensive than health coverage for active employees, since usually the company pays part of the premium for the employee. COBRA participants generally pay the entire premium. The COBRA coverage cost could include up to a 2% administrative fee in the premium.
- The plan administrator must provide notice to individual employees of their right to elect COBRA coverage within 14 days after the administrator has received notice from the employer.
- You must respond to this notice and elect COBRA coverage by the 60th day after the written notice is sent or the day health care coverage ceased, whichever is later. Otherwise, you will lose all rights to COBRA benefits.
