What this guide can and cannot tell you
HealthPlansGuide is independent and is not a government website. This tool is for education and planning; verify deadlines and eligibility through official sources.
- It can organize official-source questions, timing checks, and documents to gather.
- It cannot enroll you, verify final eligibility, rank plans, or replace official Marketplace guidance.
Tool purpose
Use this browser-only worksheet for non-PII employer COBRA offer details such as monthly premium, deductible, out-of-pocket maximum, plan type, coverage end date, election deadline, and first payment due date before Marketplace verification. Excluded details include account numbers, member IDs, SSN, Social Security numbers, date of birth, DOB, medical details, contact identity, exact addresses, uploaded documents, prescriptions, doctors, and plan credentials. The page exists to help a user organize the event, date, state, and official verification links before they share contact information with any private site.
Browser-only inputs
COBRA employer offer worksheet inputs stay in the browser and are not sent to a server-side calculator endpoint. The result can use coarse state, age band, income band, and date context, but public v0 does not retain identity, phone, email, SSN, prescription, doctor, or plan account information.
Official verification
COBRA employer offer worksheet outputs link back to official sources and label planning dates as estimates when they are derived from user-entered dates. The tool does not decide eligibility, recommend a plan, calculate a final Marketplace subsidy value, or route the user to a paid partner.
What to prepare
Before using COBRA employer offer worksheet, keep source documents nearby: coverage notices, COBRA packets, state marketplace routing, Medicaid or CHIP notices, Medicare timing sources, or employer-plan materials when relevant. The result is a checklist for official verification, not an enrollment application.
