Report Link COBRA FAQs.Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons LLP - August 18, 2005 Our clients ask us some very interesting benefits questions. Here are some of their COBRA questions and the answers to them. Report Link Failure to Define End of COBRA Election Period Proves Costly (pdf).Ogletree Deakins - August 01, 2005 A recent decision of the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit stands as a harsh reminder that careful drafting of employee benefit plan documents can be essential to avoiding unanticipated liability. In LifeCare Hospitals v. Health Plus of Louisiana, No. 04-30422, 2005 U.S. App. LEXIS 14640 (5th Cir. July 20, 2005), the insurer of an employer-sponsored health care plan was required to pay more than $250,000 in medical claims on behalf of a former employee of the plan sponsor, even though the former employee arguably had failed to elect COBRA continuation coverage within sixty days of his termination of employment and receipt of COBRA election forms, because the plan document did not specify when the COBRA election period for the plan would end. The Fifth Circuit rejected the carrier's argument that when the plan document fails to define the end of the election period, the election period is limited to the 60 day minimum period required under the statute. Report Link COBRA and Domestic Partner Group Health Plan Coverage.Rothgerber Johnson & Lyons LLP - March 15, 2004 We frequently review health plans maintained for employees by their employers. Some of these group health plans provide domestic partner coverage, not only for an employee's unmarried partner of the same or opposite sex, but also for the dependents of these partners. This scenario presents some interesting results under the continuation coverage rules of the federal law called the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, or "COBRA." Report Link DOL's New Disclosure Guide Includes COBRA Information.OnQue Technologies - December 03, 2003 On November 20, 2003, the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA) of the U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) published the new version of its booklet, Reporting and Disclosure Guide for Employee Benefit Plans.
