COBRA beneficiaries generally are eligible for group coverage up to a maximum of 18 months for qualifying events due to employment termination or reduction of hours of work.
Your employer must notify the health plan administrator within 30 to 60 days after you leave the company. Once alerted, the plan administrator has 14 days to notify you about your right to elect COBRA. You and your family have 60 days to decide whether to purchase COBRA, and once you pay the premium, the benefits are retroactive to the date you lost your health insurance coverage. You and your dependents (if they were covered by the plan) can get coverage up to 18 months, but you have to pay the premiums yourself.
