Questions & answers

COBRA stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. COBRA allows former employees, retirees, and their dependents to temporarily keep their health coverage. If you get COBRA, you must pay for the entire premium, including any portion that your employer may have paid in the past.
If your employer fails to notify the plan, you can contact the Department of Labor (DOL). The DOL fines companies that do not provide COBRA information within the proper time limits. You can also contact the benefits administrator at your previous company to ensure you receive the COBRA paperwork in time.
COBRA General Notice Group health plans must give each employee and spouse a general notice describing COBRA rights within the first 90 days of coverage. Group health plans can satisfy this requirement by including the general notice in the plan's SPD and giving it to the employee and spouse within this time limit.

This notice is intended to provide a summary of your rights, options, and notification responsibilities under COBRA. Should an actual qualifying event occur in the future and coverage is lost, the CalPERS will provide you (and your covered dependents, if any), with the appropriate COBRA election notice at that time.
