1. Coverage Under Other Plan.
After you elect COBRA under the terms of the Plan, your COBRA coverage will end on the date you first become covered by another group health plan other than a plan that has a pre-existing condition exclusion or limitation which applies to you.
2. Medicare Entitlement.
Your COBRA coverage will end on the date you become entitled to Medicare.
3. Failure to Timely Pay Premium.
Your COBRA coverage will end on the date coverage expires due to nonpayment or delinquent payment of required COBRA continuation payments. A delinquency occurs if:
- initial payment is not made within forty-five (45) days after the date the application for COBRA continuation coverage is received in the Plan Office; or
- a subsequent monthly payment is not received within thirty (30) days of the due date set by the Plan Office.

Your COBRA coverage will end on the date the Plan ceases to provide benefits for all members.
