I apologize for the following stale link that appeared earlier in today's Welfare Plans Newsletter.
(The link concerns proposed regs about COBRA notices, which were issued in 2003. The final COBRA notice regs were issued in 2004 and become effective January 1, 2005 for most plans: see http://www.sablaw.com/files/tbl_s10News/FileUpload44/13076/COBRARegulationsAugust2004.pdf for a good overview.) This was the stale link: New DOL Rules May Help Employers Avoid Nasty COBRA Bite http://www.hrhero.com/benefits/tip-cobra.shtml (Georgia Employment Law Letter via HRhero.com) Excerpt: "Most employers are familiar with their obligations to provide COBRA notices to terminated employees at the time of discharge. Unfortunately, many are less familiar with their obligations to provide timely notice of COBRA rights to their employees when certain other 'qualifying events' occur. Although the issue might not arise frequently, it's important for you to become aware of all the requirements you must follow to be truly compliant with COBRA." --Dave Baker ------------------------ Yahoo!
