Best Practices for Navigating Employee Benefits After Termination

Learn what to do with employee benefits after an employee is terminated.

While many of us are familiar with the benefits that our employer can offer us during employment, many people are less aware of how these benefits will change or become relevant after employment terminates. In this topic, we will cover a broad overview of the different arrangements available after employment terminates related both to retirement and health. This includes COBRA, life and disability insurance, and various retirement plan arrangements.
