The covered spouse and dependent children may be eligible to purchase extended health coverage under COBRA for up to 36 months.
While checking with the employer and/or insurance company about this option, assume thatyou must notify the health plan within 60 days of your loss of dependent status in order to continue coverage for yourself and/or children. Most plans require eligible individuals to make their COBRA election of coverage within 60 days of the plan's notice. Check to verify the deadline for your plan.
