Who is typically eligible to elect COBRA continuation?

• A. Only the employee
• B. The employee and each dependent who remains eligible
• C. The employer's managers
• D. Only those over 65

Answer: (B)

COBRA continuation lets people keep employer-provided health coverage after a qualifying event. Who can elect? the employee and each dependent who was covered under the plan and who still meets the plan’s eligibility rules. In practice, that means the worker and any covered family members—such as a spouse and dependent children—who would remain eligible for coverage if they stayed in the plan. It isn’t limited to just the employee, isn’t about managers, and isn’t restricted to people who are 65 or older.
