California Extends Cal-COBRA Coverage
03/14/2003

The California Legislature recently passed a new law, Assembly Bill 1401 (AB 1401), which will significantly expand COBRA coverage for California employees ("Cal-COBRA"). The new law applies to individuals who begin receiving COBRA or Cal-COBRA coverage on or after January 1, 2003. Employers will not feel the effects of the new law, however, until July 1, 2004, or 18 months after the effective date.
