COBRA Compliance |
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 gave workers who lose their health benefits the right to continue group health benefits provided by their group health plan for limited periods of time under certain circumstances such as voluntary or involuntary job loss, reduction in the hours worked, transition between jobs, death, divorce, and other life events.
In the event of such circumstances, organizations must properly notify affected employees of their rights under COBRA.
