COBRA
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 (COBRA) provides for continued coverage at employees' own expense at applicable monthly COBRA rates if the employee, their spouse, or their dependents lose group medical or dental coverage because they terminate employment (for reasons other than gross misconduct); their work hours are reduced below the eligible status for these benefits; they die, divorce, or are legally separated; or a child ceases to be an eligible dependent.
Consult the appropriate Summary Plan Descriptions for more details.
