COBRA Training Classes

Invest in online COBRA training classes now to ensure company compliance

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) is an option for families and employees to continue group health benefits for a specific period of time after they have lost their health benefits. To qualify, employees must have lost their job due to involuntary job loss, voluntary job loss, work transition, a life event such as divorce or death or a reduction in the hours worked. Those who qualify to extend their health benefits under COBRA may need to pay the full premium for insurance up to 102% of the cost.

If you are an HR manager or business owner, you need to be aware of COBRA regulations, since noncompliance with rules regarding healthcare or COBRA program requirements can result in serious penalties, fines and even legal action. COBRA rules are constantly changing, making it necessary for managers, HR professionals, entrepreneurs and others to get COBRA training classes for themselves and their teams.

Lorman Education Services offers a range of training resources and options for COBRA compliance. Whether you are just learning about the COBRA program for a new job or are a seasoned HR professional with a good grounding in the subject but in need of a refresher, we offer both intensive COBRA training as well as subject-specific training to help you hone in on specific COBRA subject areas.
