Common use of Group’s Duties Clause in Contracts

Group’s Duties. The Group will determine whether a Member is entitled to continue coverage under COBRA and will provide the required notices and COBRA application form to a plan member who is so entitled. The Group acknowledges the importance of complying with the applicable notice and offer-of-coverage rules under COBRA – including the timing requirements that apply under federal law and regulations to such rules. If the Group fails to comply with such rules or offers COBRA to one or more persons who do not constitute qualified beneficiaries, as defined under COBRA, and, as a result thereof, liability accrues for claims costs, interest, and/or penalties, the Group agrees that it will pay such liabilities directly, and that such liabilities will not be covered under this Contact.
