FAQ
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.
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.
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.
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.
COBRA allows a 30-day grace period. If your premium payment is not received within the 30-day grace period, your coverage will automatically be terminated without advance warning. You will receive a termination letter at that time to notify you of a lapse in your coverage due to non-payment of premiums.
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.
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.
