You may be eligible to continue coverage under Georgia state continuation of coverage laws beyond what is allowed under federal COBRA laws.
Under Georgia state law, insured group health plans must allow covered employees age 60 and older (on the date employment ended) to extend Federal COBRA continuation coverage until the individual is eligible for Medicare. Qualifying individuals can also extend coverage for their spouses and dependent children who are otherwise eligible under the plan.
Insured group health plans must allow spouses who are age 60 and older and would lose group coverage due to the employee's death, divorce or legal separation to extend Federal COBRA continuation coverage until the individual is eligible for Medicare. Spouses can continue coverage for eligible dependents who are otherwise eligible under the plan.
