Margaret --

Here's a similar document from the Wisconsin insurance commissioner's office. Note that it says the break-in-coverage period is no longer than 62 days.

The state's information on COBRA is here. Note (bottom of p. 3) that it says you have 30 days to decide to get it. (Your former employer has five days to notify you that COBRA is available; you then have to decide to get it within 30 days of that notification.)

I still would check with the insurance commissioner's office to make sure the material is up to date.
