Zane Benefits Publishes New Information on COBRA and Section 105 Plans
Park City, Utah (PRWEB) January 15, 2014 -- Today, Zane Benefits, the #1 Online Health Benefits Solution, published new information on COBRA and Section 105 Plans.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, Section 105 "Pure" Defined Contribution Health Plans are subject to COBRA requirements (for employers with over 20 employees). This means employers must allow employees and/or dependents to continue their coverage after termination -- if the employee pays the cost themselves.
According to Zane Benefits’ website, employers must give terminated employees the option to continue coverage in their Defined Contribution Health Plan for a period after termination, and may charge the terminated employee up to 102% of the cost of this coverage.
For most purposes, terminated participants who have elected COBRA coverage are treated exactly like current, similarly situated employees. The key difference between current and terminated employees is that the employer may charge the terminated participant and/or dependents for the cost of their coverage.
