About COBRA: 

 

(Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act)

 

COBRA refers to a federal law which applies to most employers who sponsor group health insurance plans for employees and their covered dependents. For COBRA purposes, a group health plan includes any major medical plan, dental plan, vision plan, health FSA, or any other employer sponsored group plan which provides medical care.

 

The law requires that employees and certain dependents (spouse and dependent children) who lose coverage under a group health plan must be given the opportunity to continue coverage on a temporary basis. The maximum length of time coverage may be continued depends upon the reason coverage is lost.
