Written notification that you are eligible for COBRA continuation coverage. This notice should explain how long you will have to decide whether or not to elect COBRA continuation coverage. The group health plan must give you at least 60 days from the date the notice is provided to you, or from the date your coverage ended, whichever is later, to elect COBRA continuation coverage. The election notice should explain, among many other things, how much you must pay for coverage and when and to whom the payments are due.
