Continuation Coverage Under Federal Law. This section applies only to Groups who must offer continuation coverage under the applicable provisions of the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA), as amended, or the Uniformed Services Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA) and only applies to grant continuation of coverage rights to the extent required by federal law. USERRA only applies in certain situations to employees who are leaving employment to serve in the United States Armed Forces. Upon loss of eligibility, continuation of Group coverage may be available to a Member for a limited time after the Member would otherwise lose eligibility, if required by COBRA. The Group shall inform Members of the COBRA election process and how much the Member will be required to pay directly to the Group. Continuation coverage under COBRA or USERRA will terminate when a Member becomes covered by Medicare or obtains other group coverage, and as set forth under Subsection E.
