COBRA: Simple Concept - Complicated Rules

 

The concept behind COBRA is simple, a person shouldn't have to lose their health care coverage simply because they change jobs, get divorced, or become too old to be covered as a dependent.

Things can become quite complicated when you work through all of the details that are required to put this simple concept into effect. We will explain the COBRA requirements that apply to employers, including the plans that are subject to COBRA, the special COBRA rules for Health FSAs, the situations in which COBRA must be offered, how long COBRA must be offered, and the notices that may be required under COBRA.
