Are you eligible for an extension because of COVID19?
During the pandemic, the Joe Biden administration extended multiple health insurance deadlines.
According to the Federal Employee Income Security Act (ERISA), qualified beneficiaries who lost a healthcare plan due to employment termination have the option to choose a COBRA’s extension coverage after termination.
However, to be part of a COBRA health insurance plan you should initiate your election one year and 60 days after the individual’s receipt of a COBRA election notice, or the end of the Outbreak Period.
