COBRA
The right to COBRA continuation coverage was created by a federal law, the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. COBRA continuation coverage can become available to you when you would otherwise lose your group health coverage. It can also become available to other members of your family who are covered through EGID when they would otherwise lose their group coverage. For additional information about your rights and obligations through EGID and under federal law, you should review your plan handbook or contact EGID.
