Any Dependent or ex spouse should be able to continue COBRA independently. He should contact the health plan adminstrator immediatley. It was actually his job to notify the administrator within the allocated time of his divorce.

I think you would only have a problem if there was a claim made on COBRA and he wanted to litigate that. My guess is he didn't need COBRA in the first place because he is on Medicare, which is why he didn't want to pay for it.

To get current rate for COBRA policy for an individual, you have to contact your plan adminstrator or TPA directly.

: I had a signed Stipulation in regard to a divorce. Pursuant to my agreement, I was not required to provide health ins for my husband, he has Medicare for disablity, COBRA was his secondary. Since I was reeceiving a hard time receiving the premiums from him, , I went to the plan administrator and dropped COBRA effect 1/31/2004. Under the advice of my atty I was not obligated to cover him. I then went under my employers plan. I sent a certified letter to my husband (at the time) notifying him of the termination adn giving him the number of the administrator (certified/RR). He was advised by the plan admin that he could not continue coverage under COBRA. Our divorce was final 3/10/2004. Was he entitled to continue COBRA coverage? What is the notification that he should have received and from who? Dates may be important for you to answer accurately.PLEASE ANSWER ASAP!
