Company-Subsidized COBRA Coverage
If you are eligible for benefits under the U.S. Severance Pay Plan, you will receive a COBRA subsidy and will pay the active employee rate for medical coverage under COBRA for the lesser of 1) six months; or 2) the number of months of severance benefits you receive. For calculation purposes, four weeks of severance pay equal one month, and fractional months are rounded up to the next higher whole number of months (for example, 11 weeks would be rounded up to three months). This subsidy will apply to medical and dental coverage only (the Vision Plan, Health Care Spending Account Plan, and the Wellness Program are not subsidized by JPMorgan Chase, including under COBRA for individuals receiving severance benefits). Your eligibility for company-subsidized COBRA coverage is conditioned upon JPMorgan Chase's receipt of the executed Release. Regardless of whether you were ever informed that you are eligible for benefits under the U.S. Severance Pay Plan, JPMorgan Chase's discretionary determination that you engaged in misconduct or violated the company's Code of Conduct before or during the COBRA subsidy period or that you could have been terminated for cause will render you ineligible for a COBRA subsidy and premiums due will be recalculated retrospectively. Unsubsidized COBRA coverage (102% of the total cost of coverage) will be available after the end of the subsidized portion of the COBRA period for the remainder of the 18-month COBRA continuation period.
Company-subsidized COBRA coverage is also available for your eligible, covered survivors, if you pass away as an active employee. Continuing coverage is available at the active employee costs for up to 36 months.
