Sheila K Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 A friend of mine has been on COBRA since her divorce. At about 20 months, still on COBRA (!?!?!?!) she is diagnosed with breast cancer. Another friend, also in benefits, calls and finds out that the COBRA administrator has friend #1 on COBRA due to DEATH of spouse, not divorce. Having a hard time giving her advise. She has no other group plan to go to, as she is self-employed, so creditable coverage issue doesn't really matter. My biggest concern is what happens when COBRA administrator finally discovers error and drops her coverage. Any ideas about best course of action? Thanks to all for any advice!

oriecat Posted December 5, 2006 Posted December 5, 2006 I don't understand the issue. Divorce is a 36 month qualifying event.
Sheila K Posted December 5, 2006 Author Posted December 5, 2006 I don't understand the issue. Divorce is a 36 month qualifying event. In that case, there is not an issue! Benefit friend was operating under the assumption that the divorce carried only an 18-month COBRA period. Guess it's a good thing SHE has a COBRA administrator!!! Thanks so much. Sheila K 8^)
