Q.- Do we have to send a COBRA notice to an employee’s son who turned 26 and can no longer be covered under our medical plan?

A.- Yes. Aging out of coverage is a COBRA qualifying event. If your plan is subject to COBRA, the son must receive the opportunity to elect to continue coverage when he reaches age 26.
