How does an employer know if an employee will continue on the health insurance plan?
When the eligible employee terminates employment, the employer must give the insurance carrier written notice that the employee is eligible for continuation. This notice must be given within 15 days of termination and should be by certified mail, return receipt requested. Within 15 days of receipt of that notice, the insurance carrier should notify the employee of eligibility for continuation. Then, the employee has 15 days to accept continuation by notifying the insurance carrier.
