The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose 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. COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called continuation coverage) in certain instances...
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) gives workers and their families who lose their health benefits the right to choose 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. COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called continuation coverage) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end. A competitive benefits package can help you hire and retain the best employees.
Recent U.S. Department of Labor executive orders have led to increased demand for training courses that update and educate human resource professionals and managers responsible for outsourcing or handling COBRA administration internally.
As an HR professional, do you know the current requirements for the COBRA notifications you must give your employees? Do your employees know which coverages must be offered and when coverage changes are allowed? What about the confusing reasons and requirements for terminating COBRA coverage?
Healthcare benefits remain one of the more complicated aspects of human resources management, but the issue gets no simpler when employees leave a business. The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985 offered workers the right to continued healthcare coverage, but only under certain conditions. Human resources managers must understand what those conditions are, what steps they must take throughout the process and under what circumstances such coverage can be terminated.
TrainUp can help businesses find COBRA training programs that will detail the federal regulations, variations at the state level and the expectations of business throughout the use of COBRA coverage.
