Q re "Request for Treatment as an AEI" form

[Guest marmar]

I've been working with my various COBRA Continuation packets. The second, abbreviated notice (for employees aready on COBRA) has no deadline mentioned that I can find for the former employee to return the completed "Request for Treatment as an AEI" form.

The 'full general' notice and the 'extended' notice both also include the "COBRA Continuation Election Notice" which has the 60-day deadline. (One would assume, in this case, the former employee would return both forms at the same time.)

I've searched and I cannot find anything that definitively states how long a former employee who is already on COBRA has to return the "Request for Treatment" form.

Any help with this would be much appreciated!
