Keep Your Health Coverage (COBRA) Federal COBRA is a U.S. law that applies to employers and group health plans that cover 20 or more employees. It lets you keep your group health plan when your job ends or your hours are cut. You have to pay the premium but you can keep your plan for at least 18 months. Cal-COBRA is a California law that is like Federal COBRA. Cal-COBRA applies to employers and group health plans that cover from 2 to 19 employees. It lets you keep your plan for up to 36 months.
According to COBRA regulations, you have 60 days from the date the Specific Rights Notice was sent or 60 days from your last date of coverage as an active employee, whichever is later, to elect coverage under COBRA. You are allowed to change your mind during the initial election period. For example, if you waive your right to COBRA coverage and then decide to choose coverage, coverage will be granted as long as you send the final election notification to Discovery Benefits within the 60-day election period.
