Q.- An employee is covered in family coverage under our health plan.  His son is turning 26 and is aging out of the plan.  Do we have to offer him the right to continue coverage under COBRA now that he is older than 26? 

A.- Yes.  Loosing eligibility as a dependent under the plan is a COBRA qualifying event.  The son should be given the right to continue coverage under COBRA for up to 36 months.
