Q:    Is it possible to add a new spouse or dependant to my COBRA coverage?

A:   Yes. A qualified beneficiary has the same rights to add newly-acquired dependents on the group health plan as a similarly situated employee. If you get married, you may add COBRA coverage for the new spouse, if active employees can do the same. Check with the plan administrator for time details. Family members may also be added or deleted during open enrollment time.
