Notification of COBRA and Cal-COBRA Coverage Option and Other COBRA Sample Clauses

The "Notification of COBRA and Cal-COBRA Coverage Option and Other COBRA" clause requires an employer or plan administrator to inform eligible employees about their rights to continue health insurance coverage under COBRA and, where applicable, Cal-COBRA. In practice, this means that when an employee experiences a qualifying event such as termination or reduction in hours, they must receive timely written notice outlining their options to maintain group health benefits, the costs involved, and the deadlines for electing coverage. This clause ensures that employees are fully aware of their continuation rights, thereby preventing lapses in health coverage and helping employers comply with federal and state legal requirements.
