The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) requires most employers with 20 or more employees to offer extended health care coverage to certain groups of employees after they leave the organization. This coverage includes widowed or divorced spouses and dependent children of former or current employees. However, employees who are terminated for gross misconduct need not be offered coverage. Option A is incorrect because it is not a requirement of COBRA, and Option C and D are also incorrect as they are not true statements.
