Answer 1

Under COBRA, the medical coverage under your former spouse's plan can be continued for 36 months after a divorce, as long as certain conditions are met. So, the correct answer is option d.

Step-by-step explanation:

Under the rules of COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act), you can continue medical coverage under your former spouse's medical plan after a divorce for a period of 36 months. This assumes that your former spouse works at a company with more than 20 employees and continues his or her health insurance.

The coverage will be available as long as you remain unmarried and your former spouse remains an employee of a company with more than 20 employees. So, the correct answer is option d.
