Cobra

splendid splinter

We offer 2 health plans. If a dependent is covered by the employee under one plan, then qualifies for cobra, can the dependent choose the other plan the company offers which they were not orginially covered under?

I believe if employees are able to switch back and forth between the two plans, a qualified beneficiary should be able to. If employees can't, then a q.b. probably cannot either. Check your insurance contract(s) and see whether this is permitted.
