The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) requires that employers with 20 or more employees offer continued health insurance coverage to employees who experience a qualifying event, such as a layoff, for up to 36 months. This allows individuals like Jerry to maintain their health insurance coverage even after losing their job.
