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.
The smartest option is often to continue health insurance coverage under your old employer's plan, at least until you deliver your baby. Thanks to a federal law called COBRA, you can keep your health insurance coverage for up to 36 months after you leave your job if you work for an employer with 20 or more employees. (If you work for a smaller employer, your state might have a law similar to COBRA that can help you.)
