The Comprehensive Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) requires most private employers to offer continued health insurance coverage to employees, their spouses, and dependents for a limited time after a qualifying event such as job loss, reduction in work hours, divorce, or death of an employee. The coverage must be identical to what the individual had before the qualifying event and the individual is responsible for paying the full premium, which can be up to 102% of the cost of the plan. The coverage typically lasts for 18 months, but can be extended to up to 36 months in certain circumstances.
