Notice of COBRA Continuation Coverage Rights & Coverage Rights Under COBRA Continued…. Your dependent children will become qualified beneficiaries if they lose coverage under the Plan because any of the following qualifying events happens: • The parent-Employee dies; • The parent-Employee’s hours of employment are reduced; • The parent-Employee’s employment ends for any reason other than his or her gross misconduct; • The parent-Employee becomes entitled to Medicare benefits (Part A, Part B, or both); • The parents become divorced or legally separated; or • The child stops being eligible for coverage under the plan as a “dependent child.” When is COBRA Coverage Available? The Plan will offer COBRA continuation coverage to qualified beneficiaries only after the Plan Administrator has been notified that a qualifying event has occurred. When the qualifying event is the end of employment or reduction of hours of employment, death of the Employee, commencement of a proceeding in bankruptcy with respect to the employer, or the Employee’s becoming entitled to Medicare benefits (under Part A, Part B, or both), the employer must notify the Plan Administrator of the qualifying event. You Must Give Notice of Some Qualifying Events For the other qualifying events (divorce or legal separation of the Employee and spouse or a dependent child’s losing eligibility for coverage as a dependent child), you must notify the Plan Administrator within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must provide this notice to Human Resources at Westfield Capital Management. COBRA 46 // 2026 Employee Benefit Guide
