COBRA is a health insurance benefit program enacted by the
federal government in 1985. Employees who leave their job
voluntarily or for any reason other than gross misconduct,
spouses of these employees, dependent children of these
employees and disabled persons are entitled to COBRA Health
Insurance under the law.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cobrahelpcenter.com/articles/what-is-cobra.html"><DIV>
One of the important rights assured disenfranchised employees
by COBRA is that employers are obligated to notify departed
workers of their COBRA Health Insurance rights within 30 days
of employment termination. Employers who violate this
obligation can receive severe fines and penalties. If the
employee, spouse or dependent exercises their right to COBRA
Health Insurance, neither the health insurance provider nor the
employer is mandated to notify the Employee of premiums that
are due.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.cobrahelpcenter.com/articles/what-is-cobra.html"><P>
