COBRA Compliance For Employers

Human Resource Services

The COBRA Guide: COBRA Compliance for Employers, is a 312-page comprehensive, yet practical, desktop reference for employers who must comply with federal requirements for group health insurance continuation. The manual is authored by a prominent Wisconsin law firm and edited and published by the Manufacturers’ Association of Northwest Pennsylvania.

This guide is designed to help every employer determine: (1) what legal requirements apply to that employer; (2) what plans are subject to the laws; (3) who is entitled to continuation coverage; (4) when continuation coverage begins and ends; (5) what steps the employer must take to fulfill its legal obligations (including required notices); and (6) how COBRA interacts with other federal laws.
