How long do COBRA continued benefits last?
If you lose coverage through the State of Arizona plan because of a termination of employment or a reduction in hours, you and your eligible family members may maintain COBRA coverage for a maximum period of 18 months from the date of the event. If an employee’s spouse and/or covered dependents lose their coverage because of the employee’s death or entitlement to Medicare, the employee’s legal separation or divorce, the employee’s child is no longer a dependent under the Plan, the eligible family members may maintain COBRA coverage for a maximum period of 36 months from the date of the event.
