Medical Rates
The monthly COBRA medical rates are in effect from January 1 through December 31 each year. Rates apply to Officers and Support Staff. COBRA rates also apply to CASA and Post-Doctoral Fellows, and colleagues on an unpaid Leave of Absence in excess of 6 months.
Note: If you or your dependent is disabled at the time of your qualifying event, or becomes disabled within the first 60 days of COBRA continuation coverage that begins as a result of termination of employment or a reduction in work hours, you'll pay the same monthly medical COBRA rates as those shown for active employees during the first 18 months of continuation. However, during the remaining 11 months of coverage, you'll pay 150% of the full cost of coverage (rates are shown below).
