COBRA
Established by federal law, COBRA offers employees and covered dependents the opportunity to elect a temporary extension of healthcare coverage in certain instances where coverage would otherwise end. Employees have the right to purchase continuation of coverage if coverage is lost due to specific Qualifying Life Events. Click here for more information about COBRA coverage.
