Worried your not eligible for COBRA? Finding out is vitally important to maintaining your continued health insurance. To be entitled to COBRA continuation, you must have been enrolled in the company’s health plan, and a active member of the policy, before your employment was terminated. The policy must also still be provided to all still employed employees. Next, a qualifying event must have occurred that would make your eligible for COBRA. In short, you must have been fired, laid off, quit, or for some reason lost benefits, but it can not be due to “gross misconduct”.

To recap, as long as you meet a simple two criteria, you are eligible for COBRA:

Were, while working, enrolled in or were eligible for the company’s health planStopped receiving benefits due to any qualifying event.

That’s it!
