Report Link Pennsylvania's New Mini-Cobra Law Helps Additional Employees.Buchanan Ingersoll & Rooney PC - August 18, 2009 On June 10, 2009, Pennsylvania enacted a Mini-COBRA law. The law, which became effective on July 10, 2009, requires insurers to provide continued group medical plan coverage to certain employees (and their dependents) who work for small Pennsylvania companies that otherwise would lose their group plan coverage. As a consequence of Pennsylvania's Mini-COBRA law, eligible individuals (1) will be able to continue group plan medical benefits coverage (at their own cost) for up to nine months, and, (2) in some cases, take advantage of the 65 percent premium subsidy provisions in the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA), which generally apply to employees who were involuntarily terminated from employment between September 1, 2008, and December 31, 2009. Insurers must notify employers of these new provisions by August 24, 2009, and thereafter must include these provisions in all new policies and renewals. Report Link Pennsylvania Mini-COBRA Law Now In Effect.Fisher & Phillips, LLP - June 15, 2009 Pennsylvania has adopted a "mini-COBRA" law which covers group health insurance policies offered to employees of small employers. The new law protects employees who are not covered by the health coverage continuation rules imposed by COBRA at the federal level. Generally, insured group health plans offered by Pennsylvania employers with between two and 19 employees now must provide continuation of health insurance coverage under its group health insurance plans under circumstances similar to those set forth in the federal health coverage continuation rules frequently referred to as COBRA.
