COBRA insurance questions I have gotten though Email

When an insured gets a divorce from a dependent spouse, and that dependent spouse has cancer, is the insured's employer required to continue coverage for the dependent spouse who has cancer? If so, for how long? If not, what is offered, or required by law in the state of California?

seajai:

Unless they have coverage available elsewhere, qualify for medicare, or remarry, the way the laws reads is that they could qualify to get COBRA indefinetley.

Birth and total disability are the only medical conditions I know of that will trigger COBRA coverage. Remember that COBRA is an entitlement benefit, and your ex would pay the entire cost anyway, so it doesn't cost you.

Hope this helps
