What is COBRA?
The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, also known as COBRA, requires most employers (with 20 or more employees) with group health plans to offer employees the opportunity to continue temporarily their group health care coverage under their employer’s plan if their coverage otherwise would cease due to termination, layoff, or other change in employment status (referred to as “qualifying events”).
