COBRA rates represent the full cost for health and dental insurance. The COBRA rate is greater than the rate active employees pay for insurance because the university does not contribute to the rate. The employee or dependent is paying the full cost for the health and/or dental insurance.
"COBRA" is the term commonly used to describe the right of employees and dependents to temporarily continue health and/or dental insurance after coverage is terminated due to a qualifying event such as employment termination or a dependent reaching the age maximum for coverage. Under COBRA coverage, the employee or dependent can temporarily continue to receive coverage by paying the COBRA rate, which represents the full cost of health and dental insurance.
