COBRA Eligibility

KenB · January 2002

Is there any exception to offering COBRA to an employee who works for a company for 1 day or 1 week, i.e. the person is eligible and has enrolled in the health plan but then quits or is terminated very shortly? Is there a time period that someone must work before their rights to COBRA accrue or are they eligible from Day 1?

No. COBRA rights start once the employee is covered under the group health plan.
