Overview of Law

New York’s mini-COBRA allows employees to continue their coverage for up to 36 months. Each individual certification of coverage must contain a notice of the right to continue coverage. Employers should provide an employee with a notice of their COBRA rights by first class mail as soon as a triggering event occurs.

For additional information, contact your insurance administrator.

Mini-COBRA

COBRA is a federal law that allows many employees to continue their health insurance benefits after their employment ends. Because federal COBRA only applies to employers that have 20 or more employees, many states have adopted their own versions of the law, which are known as “mini-COBRAs.” Usually, a state’s mini-COBRA is triggered by an employee’s termination or death and often extends coverage to a spouse or dependent children. Sometimes there will be an exception to coverage or an employee will have had to work for a minimum period of time to be eligible.

The team at Complete Payroll does an amazing job taking care of all our payroll needs. The Evolution Software is so user-friendly and whenever I do have a question Andrea is right there to help me. I have worked with several payroll companies over the past 31 years and moving to Complete Payroll back in 2011 was one of my best decisions. It’s difficult to find an organization that is so dedicated to their clients but Complete Payroll never disappoints. I would highly recommend that everyone head over to Payroll Country. You’ll be glad you did.

The main reason is because we have an assigned payroll specialist who knows our needs inside and out, is knowledgeable, easy to reach and very responsive. My questions and concerns are addressed in a VERY timely manner and I never feel that I have to handle sticky issues alone.
