Mini-COBRA Law In Kansas
The state of Kansas offers an extended COBRA insurance plan for employees of companies with 2-19 employees in addition to the federal COBRA insurance coverage. This means that even if you do not meet the requirements for federal COBRA insurance, you may still be eligible for COBRA insurance coverage through the Kansas Continuation Coverage law.
To be eligible for Kansas Continuation Coverage insurance, you must have experienced an employment loss that qualifies you for COBRA insurance and have been covered by your employer’s group health insurance plan. Additionally, you cannot be eligible for federal COBRA insurance.
