Your son has to complete the paperwork and either hand deliver or mail the forms in within a certain time period.

Send the administrator a certified request that you want the COBRA enrollment forms. It's a violation if they do not send him the forms if he has a qualifying event, and they have some liability.

: My son got laid off 1 month ago, he is starting a new job today, but cannot get on their health plan for 60 days. Should he stay on cobra with his previous employer? I need to know who qualifies for the 65% savings on the Obama bill. We don't want to be stuck with the full amount. So far he has received no forms from Cobra. He has told his employer he wants cobra. How do we cancel if need be?
