Failure to notify Plan within sixty (60) days of the occurrence of a <br />Qualifying Event will disqualify the Member from receiving continuation coverage. <br />Notifications of a Qualifying Event are generally made to Group, or Group’s COBRA <br />administrator. <br /> <br />3) Cal-COBRA Enrollment and Premium Information <br />Within fourteen (14) days of receiving notification of a Qualifying Event, Group, or <br />Group’s COBRA administrator, will send enrollment and premium information, <br />including a Cal-COBRA Election Form. You must return the completed Cal-COBRA <br />Election Form within the required time period. The Cal-COBRA Election Form must <br />be received within sixty (60) days of the latest of these occurrences: <br />The date coverage under the plan was terminated or will terminate due to a <br />Qualifying Event; or <br />The date you were sent the Cal-COBRA enrollment and premium information. <br />Your Cal-COBRA premium payment must be received within forty-five 45 days of the <br />date that your Cal-COBRA Election Form was received. Failure to send the correct <br />premium amount within forty-five (45) days will disqualify you from continuation <br />coverage under Cal-COBRA. The first premium payment equals the amount of all <br />premiums due from the first month following the Qualifying Event through the current <br />month. After the initial payment, Cal-COBRA premiums are due on the first day of <br />each month. The Cal-COBRA premium is generally 110% of the premium charged to <br />Group for employees. Your enrollment in Cal-COBRA will not occur until both your <br />Cal-COBRA Election Form and your first Cal COBRA premium payment have been <br />received. <br /> <br />4) Termination of Cal-COBRA Continuation Coverage <br />Usually, a Member’s Cal-COBRA continuation coverage will last up to thirty-six (36) <br />months. The continuation coverage shall end automatically if the individual becomes <br />eligible for Medicare or becomes covered under any group health plan not maintained <br />by the employer or any other health plan, regardless of whether that coverage is less <br />valuable.
