Which employers are required to offer COBRA health insurance coverage for dislocated workers?
Employers with 20 or more employees are usually required to offer COBRA coverage and to notify their employees of the availability of such coverage. COBRA applies to private-sector employees and to most state and local government workers. In addition, many states have laws similar to smaller companies. You should check with your State Insurance Commissioners’s Office to see if such coverage is available in your state.
