COBRA and Cal-COBRA
COBRA is a federal law that applies to companies with 20 or more employees. This
law offers members a temporary extension of their current health insurance should
they lose medical coverage.
Cal-COBRA is a state law, which applies to companies with two to 19 employees and offers the same continuation rights as COBRA. Depending upon the individual qualifying event, COBRA/Cal-COBRA allows continuation of coverage for individuals for up to 36 months.
Please contact your employer with specific questions about your rights for
continuation of such coverage. Your employer is responsible for providing you
with a notice of your right to receive continuing coverage under COBRA. If you
are eligible for Cal-COBRA, CCHP will send you a notice of your coverage rights.
