Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The law that allows an employee who loses their job to continue their health coverage for up to 36 months is COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act). This law applies to employers with 20 or more employees and allows the employee to continue their health coverage by paying the full premium themselves. This can be an expensive option for the employee, but it ensures that they can continue to receive healthcare coverage during a time of transition.
