Legal Question in Business Law in Georgia

Re: COBRA cuntinuance

Yes, there are monetary penalties and you can also recover damages for medical expenses that you were forced to incur due to the denial of COBRA coverage. However, to be covered, your employer must have had 20 or more employees on more than 50 percent of its typical business days in the previous calendar year. Even if not covered under COBRA, your employer may have been covered under a state law providing similar continuation of coverage rights. You should consult with an attorney, such as myself, specializing in labor and employment law. If you are interested, please contact me using the information in my profile below. I would be happy to offer you a free telephone consultation.
