According to the Federal Employee Income Security Act (ERISA), qualified beneficiaries who lost a healthcare plan due to employment termination have the option to choose a COBRA’s extension coverage after termination.
However, to be part of a COBRA health insurance plan you should initiate your election one year and 60 days after the individual’s receipt of a COBRA election notice, or the end of the Outbreak Period.
