Making a COBRA Election
Once MILA is notified of your qualifying event, you will receive a COBRA notice and an election form. The notice will provide the time limits within which you may elect and pay for COBRA continuation coverage. The election form will provide the current cost for COBRA continuation coverage.
In order to elect COBRA, you or your dependent(s) must submit the COBRA election form to MILA within 60 days after the date you would lose health coverage under the Plan or after the date of the COBRA notice, whichever is later. Each Qualified Beneficiary has an independent right to elect COBRA coverage. This means that each Qualified Beneficiary can decide for himself/herself whether or not to continue coverage under COBRA if the entire family is not continued under “family” coverage.
