[Guest Brian4]

This message board is for multiemployer plans, that are jointly sponsored by various employers and (a) union(s). Suggest you look at Watson Wyatt's insider for March 2001, available on their website. It has an article about COBRA regulations and as they apply to multiemployer plans. The short answer is it depends on the event causing the loss of coverage.
