When Coverage Ends

If your employment with CarMax ends, coverage in this plan will end on your last day of employment. If you move from a Full-time position to a Part-time position, coverage in this plan will end at the end of the month in which you move to a Part-time position. 

Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), you and your qualified beneficiaries (that is, your enrolled Spouse and enrolled dependents) may continue group health coverage for a period of time if coverage under the Plan ceases. CarMax also extends a continuation of coverage option to enrolled Domestic Partners. 

You will receive a COBRA notice approximately 2 weeks following your separation of service with instructions and the costs associated with the continuation of coverage. Please refer to the Plan’s SPD for more information.
