The election form we use has a spot where the qualified beneficiary can waive their coverage. If they sign the waiver, can they change their minds and elect COBRA?
Yes. A qualified beneficiary can change their minds and revoke the waiver at any time during the election period. Important note: If your election form contains a waiver (it s not required), make sure the form clearly states the qualified beneficiary canrevoke the waiver during the election period. Otherwise, there is a lawsuit waiting to happen.
