Who Can Get COBRA Benefits?





For you and your family to get COBRA benefits and continue in your group health plan, you must meet certain conditions:

- Your health plan must be from an employer with 20 or more workers or from state or local government. Federal workers are protected under a law similar to COBRA. Check with the person at work who manages your health plan to be sure your plan is covered by COBRA.
- You must have been covered by a group health plan before the changes in your work or family life took place. For family coverage, your family also must have been covered by the group health plan before the changes took place.
- You must have lost your health insurance coverage because of specific changes or events in your work or family life.
