How to Sign Up for COBRA Late

COBRA is a health insurance network entity of Simple and Smart Insurance Development. Widely known as an insurance alternative for unemployed individuals and families, COBRA is a reputable alternative for those in-between jobs. COBRA is also used by a number of employers to provide benefits for employees nationwide. Insurance sign-up deadlines usually come into play when employers are involved. Fortunately with COBRA, there is no definitive deadline for sign up, so technically no one is ever actually late. Even if an employer gives a sign up/registration deadline, you can always turn to the COBRA Insurance website to complete the process independently. You can still include your employer so benefits can be established with the company you work for. `
