COBRA
COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) is a federal law requiring employers averaging 20 or more employees during the preceding year to offer terminating employees, their spouses, former spouses, and dependent children continuation coverage under an employer-sponsored health plan at their own expense for a limited time when such coverage would otherwise be lost due to a qualifying event such as termination, reduction in hours, or divorce.
