COBRA Participants 

Federal Law requires that we give employees and their families the opportunity to continue their health care coverage when there is a “qualifying event” that would result in a loss of coverage under an employer’s plan. Depending on the type of qualifying event, “qualified beneficiaries” can include the employee (or retired employee) covered under the group health plan, the covered employee’s spouse, and dependent children of the covered employee.

Each qualified beneficiary who elects continuation coverage will have the same rights as other participants or beneficiaries covered under the Plan including open enrollment and special enrollment rights.

For questions or assistance with your enrollment, please contact TASC Customer Care at 800-422-4661, Monday – Friday, 8:00 a.m. – 5:00 p.m., ET.

What You Need to Know:

Important Information:

To elect continuation coverage, you must complete and submit the Election Form that will be mailed to the home address we have on record. Each beneficiary has a separate right to elect continuation coverage. For example, the employee’s spouse may elect continuation coverage even if the employee does not. Continuation coverage may be elected for only one, several, or for all dependent children who are qualified beneficiaries. A parent may elect to continue coverage on behalf of any dependent children. The employee or the employee’s spouse can elect continuation coverage on behalf of all of the qualified beneficiaries. You must respond within 60 days from the later of: 1) the Notification Date above, and 2) your Loss of Coverage Date.

Covering Your Dependent(s):

If you are covering your dependent(s), you must indicate your dependent(s)’ Social Security Number in the dependent section of the enrollment form. You must also submit proof of eligibility documentation (i.e. marriage certificate for spouse, birth certificate for natural children, etc.).
