Federal law requires you to notify an employee of COBRA rights both at the time he/she becomes covered by a plan covered by COBRA and at the time of a qualifying event. These rules affect the content and delivery of all of the following:
- The General Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights
- An employer’s notice of qualifying event
- Notices for employees and qualified beneficiaries
- The COBRA Continuation of Coverage Election Notice
- Plan administrator’s notices, including the Termination Notice and Unavailability Notice
