When employees experience qualifying events that result in loss of group health coverage, HR teams need to move fast—and accurately. This COBRA Benefits Election Form template helps HR professionals, benefits administrators, and small-to-medium businesses manage the complex COBRA notification and election process with confidence.

COBRA administration involves strict timelines, detailed documentation, and clear communication. This template walks employees through their continuation coverage options step-by-step, captures qualifying event details, records their election choices, and collects premium payment information—all in one professional, branded form that matches your company's identity.
