Q.- A person is enrolled in a group health plan with Company A for many years and then gets a second job with Company B and enrolls in their group health plan as well (having dual coverage). The individual terminates employment with Company A and is offered COBRA. Can the person elect COBRA with Company A even though they are enrolled in another group health?

A.- Yes. Since the person was enrolled in Company B’s group health plan before their qualifying event from Company A, they can elect to continue Company A’s group health coverage under COBRA.
