TRY A REAL QUESTION BEFORE YOU BUY

The aPHR exam rewards knowing how long COBRA runs for dependents. Here is a real question from the course, with the explain-every-answer treatment you get on all 540 items. See how you do before you scroll.

Compliance & Risk Management

A qualifying event such as divorce or the death of the covered employee can extend COBRA coverage for dependents up to:

A. 18 months
B. 36 months
C. 24 months
D. 12 months

The answer is B, 36 months.

COBRA allows up to 36 months of continuation for dependents after qualifying events such as divorce or the covered employee's death.

Here is why each of the other options does not fit:

Option A, 18 months. 18 months applies to termination or reduced hours.

Option C, 24 months. 24 months is not a standard COBRA period.

Option D, 12 months. 12 months is not a standard COBRA period.

That is 540 questions across six practice tests, each with an explanation like this one, calibrated to match the real aPHR (Associate Professional in Human Resources) exam.
