COBRA - Overview
COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1996) is a federal law which allows you to continue your group health, dental and vision insurance on an individual basis when you or your dependent(s) become ineligible for University benefits.
The plans available through COBRA continuation coverage are the same plans currently offered by the University; however, you or your dependent(s) must pay the full cost of the health, dental and vision plan, plus an administrative fee. COBRA premiums are due monthly, and failure to pay on time will result in loss of coverage.
Who to Contact
If you think you or your dependent(s) might qualify for COBRA continuation coverage contact the Benefits Office for additional information and instructions at (859) 257-9519 and select option 3, email benefits@email.uky.edu or visit one of two convenient locations:
