Provided that Executive timely elects continued coverage under COBRA, the Company shall pay Executives COBRA premiums to continue Executives coverage (including coverage for eligible dependents, if applicable) (COBRA Premiums) through the period (the COBRA Premium Period) starting on the Executives Separation from Service and ending on the earliest to occur of: # [number] (#) months following Executives Separation from Service; # the date Executive becomes eligible for group health insurance coverage through a new employer; or # the date Executive ceases to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage for any reason, including plan termination. In the event Executive becomes covered under another employers group health plan or otherwise cease to be eligible for COBRA during the COBRA Premium Period, Executive must immediately notify the Company of such event. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Company determines, in its sole discretion, that it cannot pay the COBRA Premiums without a substantial risk of violating applicable law, the Company instead shall pay to Executive, on the first day of each calendar month remaining in the COBRA Premium Period, a fully taxable cash payment equal to the applicable COBRA premiums for that month, subject to applicable tax withholdings, which Executive may, but is not obligated to, use toward the cost of COBRA premiums.
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.

During such period of Bank-subsidized COBRA coverage, Lammersfeld agrees and acknowledges that the Bank's reimbursement towards such coverage shall be reported as taxable compensation to Lammersfeld. Should Lammersfeld wish to continue COBRA coverage after the period of time during which the Bank subsidizes such coverage under this Paragraph 3(B), Lammersfeld acknowledges and agrees that he will be solely responsible for payment of any and all amounts required to continue coverage in accordance with the mandates of COBRA. Lammersfeld agrees that within five (5) calendar days of becoming eligible for other group health or dental insurance, he will inform the Bank of such fact in writing;

The COBRA subsidy provided by the Employer under the Plan shall be treated in accordance with ARPA as payment of the subsidy for purposes of ARPA and shall not be in addition to or extend the terms of COBRA subsidies provided under ARPA.

If you are enrolled in the Medical or Dental Plan on your Termination Date, you will be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage at no cost to you, for a period equal to three (3) weeks for each completed year of service, provided that there is a minimum free coverage period of 20 weeks, and a maximum free coverage period of 52 weeks. Your free COBRA coverage period is 24 weeks. Additionally, if your free COBRA continuation coverage period extends only partially into a month, your COBRA continuation coverage will be at no cost for that entire month. After your free COBRA continuation coverage ends, you may be eligible to continue coverage at the rates that apply to terminated employees. Generally, the maximum COBRA continuation coverage period is 18 months. The free COBRA continuation coverage period counts toward this 18-month limit. COBRA continuation coverage is not automatic; to be eligible for COBRA continuation coverage, including the initial period during which coverage is provided at no cost to you, you must first make a timely election of COBRA coverage. You make a timely election by completing and returning the COBRA election form that will be sent to you by the Ashland Benefits Service Center.
