Many employers notified their current employees of their C.O.B.R.A. rights at the time the COBRA law became effective and haven’t notified any new employees since.
The General Notice aka (Initial Rights Notice or New Hire Notice) must be sent first Class Mail to each new employee and their covered dependents within ninety 90 days after they become effective on your COBRA eligible plan(s). This notice also must be sent when one of your employees adds a new dependent.
We will provide a master notification for the employer to copy and mail by First Class Mail to each employee and covered dependent when they become covered under the plan(s). We suggest you use USPS Certificate of Mailing as proof of notification. We will also keep The General Notice updated of any mandated changes in the COBRA law.
If you wish, for a small fee we will notify your employees and covered dependents for you and provide USPS Certificate of Mailing as proof of notification.
