COBRA is the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act passed by Congress in 1986. COBRA provides the continuation of group healthcare coverage that has been lost due to certain, specific events.

Employers with 20 or more employees are required to offer COBRA coverage and notify in writing the COBRA Qualified Beneficiaries of their entitlement.

Individuals covered by a group health plan that experience a valid qualifying event leading to loss of healthcare coverage.
Qualifying events include:

• Separation/Termination
• Change in employment status, resulting in the loss of healthcare coverage
• Divorce of a covered member
• Death of a covered member
• Loss of dependent eligibility under plan rules/guidelines

The benefits offered are:

• healthcare
• dental
• vision
• FSA

These benefits are the same benefits the member had when covered under the group plan.

The cost for the benefits cannot exceed 102 percent of the premium previously being paid by the employer, participant or the combination of both.

After you make your first payment for continuation coverage, you will be required to make periodic payments for each subsequent coverage period. The amount due for each coverage period for each qualified beneficiary will be shown on the notice. The periodic payments for continuation coverage are due on the first day of the month for which coverage is provided. If you make a periodic payment on or before the first day of the coverage period to which it applies, your coverage under the Plan will continue for that coverage period without any break.

No. You must cover your family with the same medical plan and/or flexible benefits as yourself.

You must refer to your billing coupon for due date, amount due and where to mail your payment. If payment is not received by the due date, coverage will be terminated and you will lose your COBRA eligibility. Please note that any previous year premiums for medical, dental and/or vision coverage must be paid in order for your current coverage to become effective.
