You have a 30 day window for qualified life events. I believe it’s a sixty day window to elect Cobra. Wife’s company doesn’t give a hoot when you received paperwork.

They do if they have a 125 plan and want to stay in compliance.

To answer the OP you have 30 days after losing qualified coverage.

Details matter. People love to come on the MB with ‘hypotheticals’ and not give the actual important details of the issue that likely affect the answer.
