How long do I have to notify terminated employees about COBRA election?
Employers must notify their plan administrators within 30 days after an employee’s termination or after a reduction in hours that causes an employee to lose health coverage. The plan administrator must provide notice to individual employees of their right to elect COBRA coverage within 14 days after receiving notice from the employer. It is the employer’s responsibility to provide COBRA information to employees both when they enroll in a health plan and at the time of termination.
