Initial Notification of COBRA
Rights: Your Duty to Supply to All Employees
Benefits: The attached file contains a letter that all
employees must receive either from their employer or from the
benefit plan administrator of their benefit plans. If your
business has 20 or more employees and offers health, disability,
dental, or vision benefits, you are required to provide
employees with a notice explaining their rights under COBRA.
(Note: Employees are not entitled to group-term life insurance
coverage provided by you once they terminate employment)
Federal law requires that certain information about COBRA be
provided to employees and their spouses and dependents at the
time the employee is hired. If you must comply with COBRA law,
the following letter can be used to comply with the initial
notice requirement portion of the law. This letter should be
sent when an employee is hired. Make sure to document your
compliance with the requirement by keeping a copy of the letter
in the personnel file or by sending it certified mail with a
return receipt requested. |
| File Description: The file contains a three-page document in
rich text format (RTF) that is suitable for use with most word
processing programs used in the Windows environment. |
