Great services with an excellent customer care policy I enjoyed great services provided by pdfFiller through an annual plan. I used their service in all my dealings with pdf documents. Then for professional reasons, I had to cancel my subscription, and pdfFiller team was extremely kind in offering me a full refund of my subscription fee. Just after 3 minutes of sending them a message, they responded back explaining the details of my refund process. That is what I call a great customer care and professionalism! Once again thanks a lot!

PDFfiller is a great tool for having documents signed on PDFs! Overall, I am super satisfied with PDFfiller and will continue to use. What I like most about PDFfiller is how easy it is for myself and clients to sign documents. This is one of the best tools I have found to edit. I do not have any complaints at this time regarding PDFfiller. It has been a lifesaver for myself when I need things signed!!

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.
Assuming one pays all required premiums, COBRA coverage starts on the date of the qualifying event, and the length of the period of COBRA coverage will depend on the type of qualifying event which caused the qualified beneficiary to lose group health plan coverage.
Yes, COBRA is retroactive. If you initially choose not to opt in for COBRA insurance, you can still opt for coverage later. However, retroactive benefits mean that if you opt in for COBRA coverage, the start date is the day after you lost your employer's insurance.
You have 60 days from a “qualifying event” or the date your notice is mailed, whichever is later, to enroll in COBRA. A qualifying life event can be a job loss, divorce or death of your spouse, among others. Your former employer will send you details about how to sign up.
You may be able to keep your job-based health plan through COBRA continuation coverage. COBRA coverage lets you pay to stay on your job-based health insurance for a limited time after your job ends (usually 18 months). You usually pay the full premium yourself, plus a small administrative fee.
