COBRA -
Length of Time to Elect COBRA after Qualifying
How long after a qualifying event do I have to elect COBRA Continuation
Coverage?
Qualified beneficiaries must be given an election period during which each
qualified beneficiary may choose whether to elect COBRA coverage. Each
qualified beneficiary may independently elect COBRA coverage. A covered
employee or the covered employee's spouse may elect COBRA coverage on behalf
of all other qualified beneficiaries. A parent or legal guardian may elect
on behalf of a minor child. Qualified beneficiaries must be given at least
60 days for the election. This period is measured from the later of the
coverage loss date or the date the COBRA election notice is provided by the
employer or plan administrator. The election notice must be provided in
person or by first class mail within 14 days after the plan administrator
receives notice that a qualifying event has occurred.
