COBRA

A Federal law known as COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1985, as amended) requires the County of Los Angeles to offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health benefits at group rates plus an administrative charge, in certain instances where coverage under the Plan would otherwise end.  At the time you first become covered under a County health plan, you should receive a notice that will explain your rights and obligations under COBRA as well as a notice explaining your rights and obligations under California law.
