How long does a person have to decide whether or not to elect COBRA?
HRCalifornia
After being notified of Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) rights, the qualified beneficiary has 60 days in which to elect or waive COBRA coverage.
The initial premium is then due within 45 days of the date COBRA coverage was elected, retroactively paying for time elapsed during the election period.
