Federally Mandated Benefits
COBRA
When your employment ends all of your benefits will terminate at the end of the month of your last
day of employment. COBRA coverage for Medical and dental will be available for those who
qualify. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their
families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided
by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary
or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and
other life events. Qualified individuals may be required to pay the entire premium for coverage up to
102 percent of the cost to the plan. COBRA Administration for Public Citizen is handled by
HFS/TASC and paperwork work will be mailed out shortly after your last day of employment. For
more information, contact Human Resources.
