The length of coverage is dependent on the qualifying
event. If the qualifying event is termination or reduction
in hours of employment then the coverage must be provided
for 18 months. If the qualifying event is the employee
becoming entitled to Medicare, divorce/legal separation,
death of the covered employee, or the loss of "dependent
child" status, then the coverage must be provided
for 36 months. In the case of individuals who qualify
for Social Security disability benefits, special rules
apply.
