Overview: COBRA is an acronym for the Federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985. COBRA gives employees, spouses, and dependent children currently enrolled under the State Health Benefits Program (SHBP) the opportunity to purchase continued health benefits for a limited period of time. COBRA applies to employees and dependents who would otherwise lose coverage as a result of a COBRA qualifying event. COBRA qualifying events include: work termination for reasons other than gross misconduct, a reduction in work hours/leave of absence, divorce or legal separation of a spouse, death of the employee, dependent ineligibility (i.e. child marries, is over the eligible age of 23, or moves out of household), Medicare becoming the primary insurance.
