What is the timeline around continuation coverage?
In general, your employer has 30 days to notify the health plan of a qualifying event. The health plan then has 14 days to send you a notification that tells you how to apply and what your premiums will be. You have 60 days from the qualifying event or the time you receive the notice (whichever is later) to tell the health plan that you will be continuing coverage. Your coverage and premiums begin retroactively on the day of your qualifying event.
