Bulletin 2020-07
Department of Insurance
| Insurers are encouraged to permit employers to continue covering employees under group policies even if the employee would otherwise become ineligible due to a decrease in hours worked per week. Further, insurers are encouraged to permit employers to continue providing coverage to employees under group policies regardless of any "actively at work" or similar eligibility requirements in the policy. Additionally, insurers are encouraged not to increase premium rates if possible. Insurers are reminded of their responsibilities under COBRA and are encouraged to assist employers with their responsibilities. |
