Is there a minimum time in service with an employer before the employee becomes eligible for COBRA (health insurance) coverage upon a qualifying event? From what I’ve read, the only requirement is that the employee was covered on the “day before” the qualifying event.
Consider the scenario where Jane takes a new job with good health insurance starting day one, but is concerned that she will be in a probationary period for 90 days when termination is possible. Jane is considering keeping her current insurance (provided under COBRA from her last employer) “just in case”.
