Enrolling for COBRA
When you become eligible for COBRA, you will receive information from the company’s COBRA administrator about electing continuation of coverage.
To enroll in COBRA coverage, you or your dependents must submit a COBRA enrollment form within 60 days of the date of the notice or the date coverage ends, whichever is later. You will be covered under COBRA for that 60-day period if you choose to enroll and you make a payment. If you do enroll, this means you will have to pay for the coverage you receive during this 60-day election period.
If you do not elect to continue coverage within the 60-day time limit, your benefits will end under this plan on the day the qualifying event took place. You or your dependent cannot later elect to continue coverage.
