When you leave/lose City employment, you have an opportunity to continue your health benefits through COBRA. You must contact Sharp Health Plan within 60 days of leaving / losing employment to elect this temporary extension of benefits, which allows you to extend your coverage through Sharp Health Plan for up to 18 months with your active plan option. And if you need to continue this coverage beyond the first 18 months since leaving / losing City employment, you are also eligible to continue Sharp Health Plan coverage for an additional 18 months through Cal-COBRA.
For assistance, call 1-888-840-4747, Monday to Friday, 8 am to 6 pm.
