How do I elect COBRA coverage?

Once you are termed by your agency, your information is entered into the TASC COBRA system. TASC will generate a COBRA Specific Rights Notice Letter to the plan member to the current mailing address on file at OGB. The packet will include a waive or accept COBRA and/or FSA COBRA form; a date of the last day of election; premium cost; where to mail the premium and form (not to OGB); how to pay online; and more. According to COBRA regulations, the plan member has 60 days from the date of the COBRA Specific Rights Notice Letter to elect coverage under COBRA.
