If a covered retiree or a covered active employee who is eligible to retire dies, his covered surviving spouse and any covered dependent children may continue coverage under the Plan. The surviving spouse can be covered for their lifetime, and dependent children may be covered under the surviving spouse's coverage until the end of the month they reach age 26. If the retiree or active employee has covered dependent children but not a covered spouse, the dependent children can continue coverage for up to 36 months under COBRA continuation coverage. See specific details regarding COBRA continuation coverage and the election period under Continuing Coverage Under the Plan.
