COBRA coverage generally is offered for 18 months, and 36 months in some cases. If you don't get a notice, but you find out your coverage has ended, or if you get divorced, call the employer's benefits administrator or the group health plan as soon as possible and ask about your COBRA rights.
The employer must notify the health plan within 30 days if you lose or quit your job, die or become entitled to Medicare. You must notify the plan, generally within 60 days, if the reason for COBRA eligibility is because of divorce, legal separation or losing dependent status as a child. The health plan then has 14 days to respond with information about how to elect COBRA, and you and your family have 60 days to decide. Not all of you have to elect COBRA. Even if you waived the option, for instance, your spouse and kids could still elect COBRA, or vice versa.
