What Can I Do?
For Employees:
Employees who lose coverage have the option of enrolling in COBRA. WEX Health mails the COBRA packet to the employee's primary home address found on UCPath within the month the employee loses coverage. The information about the loss of coverage is sent to WEX twice a month.
Note: Please verify your home address is correct on UCPath.
For PostDocs:
Information for PostDocs can be found on Gallagher.
For Dependents of Employees:
For any of the qualifying events listed below, complete the UBEN 109 form to request a COBRA application packet. Then, you can let UCPath know by opening an inquiry on the UCPath Portal and attaching the completed form.
Divorce / Legal separation/annulment
Termination of domestic partnership
Dependent's loss of eligibility (ex: moving out of state or reaching the age of 26)
Notice: Failure to notify UCPath regarding these events within a 60-day time limit will result in COBRA continuation coverage being forfeited.
