COBRA

Question: I terminated employment and elected COBRA continuation coverage. I have gone to work for another employer, can I keep my COBRA if I enroll in my new employer's plan?

Answer: It depends. If under the new plan you will be subject to any exclusion or limitation with respect to any preexisting condition, you may enroll in the new plan and keep your COBRA coverage. However, if you will not be subject to any exclusion or limitation with respect to any preexisting condition, COBRA coverage may be terminated--including prescription drug coverage--on the date on which you become covered under your new employer's group health plan. (42 U.S.C. 300bb-2(2)(D)(i).)
