Once you elect coverage and pay for it, COBRA coverage begins on the date that health care coverage ceased. It is, essentially, retroactive. In addition, the health care coverage you receive is the same as it is for active employees.

COBRA coverage for an AEI who elects COBRA during the special election period begins on the first day of the first COBRA coverage period beginning after the date of enactment of the ARRA (March 1, 2009, for group health plans using calendar months as COBRA coverage periods). COBRA coverage is not retroactive to the date the AEI originally lost coverage. If an AEI elects COBRA during the special election period, when does the COBRA coverage period end?
