Q- How long does a former employee have to pay for COBRA coverage?

A.- An individual who is eligible for COBRA has 60 days to elect COBRA and 45 days from the date of their COBRA election to make their first premium payment. After the initial payment, COBRA premiums must be paid on a monthly basis, and there is a minimum 30-day grace period for subsequent payments.
