how long does an employer have to send a former employee a cobra letter
Being offered COBRA continuation coverage does not limit eligibility for coverage or for a tax credit through the Marketplace. The employee or dependent must select Marketplace coverage within 60 days before or 60 days after the loss of other coverage, or will have to wait until the next open enrollment period.or example, if a covered employee becomes entitled to Medicare 8 months before the date his/her employment ends (termination of employment is the COBRA qualifying event), COBRA coverage for his/her spouse and children would last 28 months (36 months minus 8 months).
