More detail
Extension conditions
The notice discusses an 18-month period and conditional extensions for a Social Security disability determination or second qualifying event. For disability, it requires a copy of the determination within 60 days of that determination and within 18 months of the qualifying event. It says Health FSA continuation ends with the calendar year.
Before you decide
The source inconsistently names two versus three group-health components. This summary is not a complete COBRA notice and does not establish legal rights.
