What are the actions a TAA-eligible individual/HCTC participant needs to take in order to extend their COBRA coverage?
The HCTC Program will send participants with COBRA a letter three months before their coverage is set to expire notifying them that they are eligible for the COBRA extension. The individual would then need to work with their former employer and/or Third Party Administrator to extend their COBRA benefits. Often the agency administering COBRA benefits will request proof from the HCTC that the individual is eligible for the extension, so please advise participants to make copies of the letter they receive from our program to use as verification. Please note that states must continue to send an eligibility record each month for an individual to prevent him or her from being cancelled out of the program.
