The Participant shall be responsible for any additional months of COBRA coverage elected beyond the months of COBRA provided by the Corporation under this Plan. The Participant may also enroll in other applicable COBRA coverage (e.g. dental and/or the health care spending accounts); however, the Participant shall be responsible for and must pay the COBRA premium for such coverage.

You’ll be notified of your ability to elect continued medical, dental, and vision coverage from the Company, as required by the COBRA continuation requirements of federal law. The severance payment period during which medical, dental, and vision coverage continue won’t count against the maximum period during which you may continue these coverages under COBRA. That is, after your severance pay ends, COBRA continuation may be elected for the maximum period that applies.
You may use your Health Benefits Payment in whatever way you choose. In other words, you do not have to use your Health Benefits Payment to help pay for COBRA continuation coverage. If you do decide to cover yourself and eligible dependents, if any, on a COBRA continuation coverage basis, then you must apply for and pay for such coverage yourself. It will not be provided to you automatically.
