Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

COBRA rules require HR to notify both the employee and their dependent(s) who are losing health benefits of their opportunity to continue coverage under the employer's plan for a limited time. In this case, since Ed and his wife have divorced, his wife and any dependent children would be eligible for extended health benefits under COBRA. However, his dependent elderly parents would not be eligible.
