In this IMG activity, you enter and store the Unavailability Reasons for COBRA coverage.
If the health insurance plan administrator receives notice from an individual of a qualifying event, a second qualifying event, or of a Social Security disability determination and the administrator determines that COBRA coverage or an extension of COBRA coverage is not available, the administrator must notify the individual of the unavailability and explain why COBRA coverage is not available. This Notice must be provided regardless of the reason for denying the request for COBRA coverage, including that the notice of the qualifying event was incomplete or not furnished in a timely manner. The Notice of Unavailability of COBRA Coverage must be sent within the time frame specified for the COBRA Election Notice.
