We are writing to inform you about critical information regarding your healthcare coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Please carefully review the following details to ensure you understand your rights and options. 1. Introduction to COBRA: The COBRA law was enacted to extend your health insurance coverage temporarily when your eligibility is ending due to certain qualifying events, such as employment termination, divorce, or becoming ineligible as a dependent. With COBRA, you have the opportunity to continue the same health benefit plan you had while actively employed, allowing for a smooth transition. 2. Enrollment Option: If you choose to enroll in COBRA coverage, you will receive the same level of healthcare protection as you had before your qualifying event. However, it is important to note that your responsibility for premium payments may differ, as you will now become responsible for the entire premium cost. Our detailed COBRA enrollment packet, enclosed with this letter, provides comprehensive instructions on how to enroll and the associated deadlines. 3. Waiver Option: If you decide not to elect COBRA coverage, you must complete the enclosed waiver form. By signing and returning the waiver form, you acknowledge your understanding that you are declining the opportunity to extend your health insurance coverage. Please ensure the waiver form is returned within [insert deadline] to avoid any lapse in coverage. 4. Deadlines and Payment Information: For both enrollment and waiver options, it is crucial that all necessary paperwork is completed and returned within [insert deadline] to guarantee a seamless transition in your healthcare coverage. Should you choose to enroll, please be aware that the first premium payment is due within 45 days from the date of this letter.
