Continuing Your Coverage Under COBRA

Disability Is a Special Case

If you, your spouse or your eligible dependents are disabled (as determined by Social Security) at any time during the first 60 days of continuation coverage, the disabled person may be able to continue coverage for up to a total of 29 months from the date of the qualifying event.

To qualify, you must notify the Benefits Office within 60 days of the date Social Security makes its disability determination, and that determination must be made within the first 18 months of continuation coverage. If the disability ends, you (or your disabled dependent) must notify the Benefits Office within 30 days of the determination. Continued coverage will end on the first day of the month that is 31 or more days after the Social Security determination that the disability has ended.
