5. If applicable, indicate the specific beneficiaries who will be covered under the Cobra plan. This may include yourself, your spouse, and any dependent children. Include their full names and relevant details as requested.
6. Determine the Cobra start date. This is the date when your regular health insurance coverage ends and your Cobra coverage will begin.

Who needs Cobra event notice:

1. Employees who experience a qualifying event that results in a loss of coverage under their employer-sponsored health insurance plan may need to fill out a Cobra event notice. This applies to individuals who would like to continue their health insurance coverage under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA).
2. Qualifying events may include termination of employment (voluntary or involuntary), reduction in work hours, divorce or legal separation, loss of dependent status, or the death of the employee. In these situations, employees and their eligible dependents may be eligible for Cobra coverage.
3. It is important to note that not all employees will require a Cobra event notice. For example, if an employee obtains new health insurance coverage through another employer or government program, they may not need Cobra coverage. Additionally, individuals who are not eligible for Cobra, such as those who were not covered under the employer's health plan, do not need to fill out a Cobra event notice.
