Why care about COBRA?

The consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1986 (COBRA) requires all businesses with 20 or more employees who provide employee benefits to offer extended coverage to all employees who are terminated, retire or become deceased.

From eligibility tracking to monitoring timelines to management the extensive list of notices that must be distributed, administering COBRA can be not only a tax on your already stretched HR staff, but it can be awkward communicating with former employees. Outsourcing these processes could be the right answer for you.

Changing legislation makes COBRA harder to administer, not easier. Choosing Gunn-Mowery to handle your COBRA needs can make all the difference.
