When you terminate or retire, your County medical and dental insurance coverage will continue for one pay period if you code the required hours.
The County offers employees and their covered family members the opportunity to elect Federal Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) for 18-months. A COBRA notice will be mailed to your home after your termination/retirement date to remind you of this option. Per Federal COBRA, you or your qualified beneficiary is responsible for the full applicable premium plus an administration fee of up to 2%.
After you have exhausted your Federal COBRA (initial 18-months of coverage), Cal-COBRA allows an extension of your current medical coverage for up to an additional 18 months. The Cal-COBRA option is for medical coverage only and the cost may be up to 110% of the premium. Please contact the medical carrier directly to sign up for Cal-COBRA.
In addition, you may have the option to enroll in a County retiree medical and dental plan. To obtain retiree plan information please contact Employee Benefits at (909) 387-9674.
