How do I get COBRA coverage?

COBRA letters are mailed directly to employees' homes. 


After an employee's department completes termination paperwork for a benefit eligible employee enrolled in either medical, dental and/or vision coverage, the COBRA process is initiated.  Payflex, our COBRA provider, mails the letter to the employee's home. 


The employee will be offered the same medical, dental and/or vision plan that they are enrolled in. 


If you have additional questions about COBRA, including premiums and enrollment deadlines, please contact our Benefits Office.
