A qualified beneficiary who has elected COBRA continuation coverage can choose to cover a newborn child, adopted child, or a new spouse who joins the family of the qualified beneficiary on or after the date of the qualifying event, subject to Plan enrollment period provisions as to when an eligible dependent may be enrolled. Coverage for a new family member ceases at the same time as the continuation coverage of the qualified beneficiary. New family members, except for children born to the covered employee or placed for adoption with the covered employee, do not become qualified beneficiaries.
