A: Once you are entitled to Medicare you are no longer allowed to continue on the employer’s group health plan through COBRA. You are not able to have Medicare and COBRA. However, your spouse and dependents will stillbe eligible for COBRA. On the COBRA election form from your employer it will allow you to continue the coverage for your spouse and dependents.
