COBRA Notice Requirements

Federal law requires you to notify an employee of COBRA rights both at the time they become covered by a plan covered by COBRA¹ and at the time of a qualifying event.²

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
