Termination of Employment

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and other life events.

Once you have terminated with the university, COBRA information regarding continuation of benefits will be sent to your home address. Please be sure your local home mailing address is updated in the University of Florida directory to ensure prompt delivery.
