COBRA coverage may be terminated if:

  • You become eligible for Medicare.
  • You reach the maximum coverage limit under the plan.
    • To find out how long you can have COBRA, click on the link in the GO TO box.

  • You become eligible for another employer-sponsored health plan that does not have a pre-existing condition waiting period (if the new plan does have a waiting period, you may continue COBRA coverage during this period).
  • The employer from whom you are getting coverage stops coverage for all employees.
  • You do not pay your COBRA premiums on time.
