How might going back to work affect my COBRA or OBRA coverage?
Health insurance for people continuing through a COBRA or OBRA extension of a prior employer’s coverage will not be affected by returning to work. It is the time limitations of COBRA or OBRA and the arrival of Medicare that will affect how long the group coverage is continued, not whether you are working. However, should you return to work full-time and receive health insurance, COBRA cannot be continued once the new coverage covers any pre-existing condition.
