Wyoming’s Mini-COBRA Law
Wyoming mini-COBRA law requires employers with between 2 and 19 employees to offer continuation coverage to their employees and their dependents in the event of a qualifying event, such as termination of employment or reduction in hours. The continuation coverage must be provided for a maximum of 12 months and the premiums paid by the employee can be up to 102% of the group rate.
Compared to the federal COBRA law, which applies to employers with 20 or more employees and provides continuation coverage for up to 18 or 36 months, depending on the qualifying event, the Wyoming mini-COBRA law has more limited coverage and a shorter duration.

Individuals who meet certain income requirements may also be eligible for financial assistance in the form of tax credits to help offset the cost of their monthly premiums.

Sometimes state and federal subsidies help offset the premium for individual marketplace insurance.
