The employer has 30 days to notify the plan administrator of the termination and the plan administrator has an additional 14 days after notification of the employer to notify you in wirting of your COBRA rights. Ask a similar question.
Thank you for using Just Answer. Between my law practice and other law related jobs, I have over 13 years experience. I look forward to assisting you. This is called election notice, which occurs after a qualifying event for COBRA, like a termination or resignation. The employer has 30 days following the event to notify the plan administrator. The plan administrator then has 14 days to provide the election notice to you, the former employee. If the employer is also the plan administrator, they have 44 days to send it out (and they count the day they mail it, not the day you receive it). Any election that you then make would look backwards in time, to the date of the qualifying event, and retroactively cover you back to that period.
