What is TriNet's threshold for active COBRA participation?

• A. 5%
• B. 10%
• C. 15%
• D. 20%

Answer: (B)

Threshold here refers to the minimum share of eligible employees who elect COBRA coverage within the allowed election period that keeps COBRA administration active. TriNet uses 10% as that minimum. So, if at least 10% of eligible participants elect COBRA, the plan remains in active COBRA administration and continues to process coverage accordingly. If participation falls below 10%, the handling of COBRA administration would be adjusted. The other percentages aren’t used as the standard threshold in TriNet’s policy, since 10% is the defined point at which active COBRA participation is recognized. Therefore, the threshold is 10%.
