Continuing health coverage under COBRA
Under COBRA (the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985), you and your covered dependents are eligible to continue coverage in some benefit plans that you were enrolled in at Rivian.
Events that qualify for COBRA eligibility include:
- Loss of coverage because of reduced work hours or taking unpaid leave, other than leave under FMLA
- Termination of employment
- A child no longer qualifies as a dependent
- Divorce or legal separation
- Continuous absences for 6 months or more.
- Death
If you or a family member is eligible for COBRA, you’ll receive an enrollment packet directly from Rivian’s COBRA administrator, iSolved Benefit Services, with instructions about how to make your COBRA elections. You’ll have 60 days from the qualifying event date to elect COBRA coverage, which will be retroactive to the day following a loss of coverage. You’ll pay 102% of the cost of coverage.
