Mississippi’s Mini-COBRA Law
All Mississippi residents are eligible for health insurance continuation. Mississippi law mandates that businesses with fewer than 19 employees provide former employees and their dependent family members with insurance continuation.
If federal COBRA does not apply, Mississippi Statute Title 83 is used instead. The prerequisite conditions are the same for both laws. In order to be eligible in Mississippi, you had to be enrolled in the group health plan for three consecutive months prior to the qualifying event. The notification, enrollment, and qualification periods for insurance continuation coverage are other areas where there are differences.
