COBRA - Open Enrollment

[Guest Lynette Seto]

I understand that we have to offer COBRA participants the same medical options as we do actives during open enrollment.

the question is this: "we are eliminating 1 of the medical plan options during OE and want to know if we can set a default plan if the COBRA particpant does not respond by electing another plan?" we will be doing this for our actives. does anyone foresee any problem(s)with us doing this? at least we're not cancelling their coverage.
