Q: I have a question regarding COBRA coverage.I work for company a in Michigan, and if I leave this company and move to IL, then would I be covered and if my wife is pregnant will she be covered. If I am taking job in IL would I be covered for out of state benefit or IL would be considered as in state after COBRA. Secondly, I have my wife and myself covered under this policy what will happen when baby is born, wil baby be covered in that policy? I will appreciate your reply.
A: If there are more than 20 employees at the job you are leaving, then that employer has to offer you a continuation of the same group health plan for duration of up to 18 months. Employers must offer alternative coverage to qualified beneficiaries that will be moving outside their insurance coverage area. The employer must make the alternative coverage available before on by the date the beneficiary moves, or if it is later, than the first day of the month following the month you made the request to move and needed alternate coverage.
Also, the pregnancy would be covered if the group health policy had coverage for it at the time you applied for COBRA. A qualified beneficiary can add a newborn baby to their COBRA coverage. The newborn will become a qualified beneficiary and be entitled to the same coverages as the employee.
