Generally, your coverage continues for 36 months from the date of your divorce or annulment, as long as you pay your premiums on time.
After your TCC enrollment ends:

- you may convert to an individual contract offered by your health benefits plan,
unless you lose coverage because you canceled your enrollment or didn't pay your premiums.
