:So if my spouse and children keep Cobra coverage from my former job using their independent election rights what price to they pay? We were paying the family rate before that covered all of us. If I don't take Cobra and they do, would they pay a reduced rate comparable to the rate paid by people still employed who only want coverage for a single adult and children?
:If you both were covered on the plan prior to the qualifying event, then you are both considered qualified beneficiaries and have independent election rights. That means that yes you could drop your coverage and he could keep his.
