The duration of COBRA benefits depends on the qualifying event. If the qualifying event is the employee's quitting, termination, or reduction in hours, COBRA benefits last for 18 months. If the qualifying event is the employee's death, the employee's divorce or legal separation, or the dependent's loss of dependent status under the plan, COBRA benefits last for 36 months.
For an employee covered under a qualifying event, COBRA coverage can last for 18 months from the date you elect coverage. However, dependents can receive up to 36 months of coverage if you switch to Medicare, get divorced, or die. Otherwise, theyâre covered for 18 months as well.
