A:You need to speak with your Cobra administrator or your previous employers benefits or HR department to see if you can get an extension due to your disability, they will let you know if that is a possibility or not.You can also view the website www.dol.gov/COBRA to see if you can find any information pertaining to your situation on there that can help you out.
