Question of the Week - COBRA for Change in Status

Written by BAS | Apr 4, 2024 1:49:13 PM

Q.- Do we need to send a COBRA notice to an employee’s child who turns age 26 and ages out of our plan? The employee clearly knows our plan’s eligibility requirements and knows his child is no longer eligible for coverage.

A.- Yes. If the child was covered under your medical plan on the day before their 26th birthday, the child is eligible to elect to continue coverage under COBRA. A qualifying event notice must be provided.
