Retiree Coverage....COBRA....Both?????

So I'm a little green when it comes to retiree medical coverage issues. #-o

Our medical plan currently includes the availability of retiree coverage. If an employee retires and opts to take and pay for retiree coverage, how does this impact COBRA eligibility?

We are cancelling a retiree's coverage for nonpay. He's had 18 months of coverage. Do we now have to offer COBRA or has that obligation been fulfilled with the continuation of coverage through the retiree option?

Please help . . .

    [font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 04-16-03 AT 08:37AM (CST)[/font][p]My guess is and it is strictly a guess, is that since he wasn't offered COBRA he would need to be offered COBRA now. My thought is though that he won't accept it as he will need to pay for that as well.
