Your Right To Continue Coverage (COBRA)

COBRA is a federal law that allows you to keep your most recent employer-sponsored health coverage if it would otherwise end because of job loss or another qualifying life event. If you choose to continue the employer plan, you may do so for up to 18 or 36 months depending on the qualifying event.

What Happens If I Move To Another State After I Quit My Job? Can I Still Elect COBRA?

What happens if I change residency to another state after I quit my job?

Yes, you can still elect Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) coverage after you move to another state. If your former health‐plan’s service area does not cover your new location, your former employer must offer you a plan that works in your new state.

Update Your Address with the Employer

Be sure to update your contact information with the employer providing your health insurance when you move.
