COBRA

COBRA is a federal law that requires the County to offer employees and their families the opportunity to continue their medical/dental or MERP coverage when there is a qualifying event that would result in a loss of coverage on the County's health plan by paying the full cost of the premiums.

Following a loss of coverage, you'll receive a COBRA notice with pricing and enrollment information to your home address (and/or dependent's home address).

State and local government employees seeking more information about rights under Public Health Service Act (PHSA), including COBRA, the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA), and other laws affecting group health plans, should visit the HHS-CMS website.
