The federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) of 1985, made allowance for those who lost health coverage, due to job loss, to continue health benefits for a period of time. If you have recently changed employment status (left your employer), you are eligible for a temporary extension of group health coverage, and you have received a letter from TASC. TASC is OGB’s third-party administrator for FSA, COBRA and FSA COBRA.
If you are a new hire to state government, you have received a COBRA Specific Rights Notice Letter provided to all newly hired employees for information purposes only to let you know your rights as an employee.
