COBRA Administration and State Continuation Coverage

How many employees do you have? If it's 20 or more, you're required to offer COBRA health continuation coverage following termination, loss of hours or other qualifying events. If fewer than 20, your state may have its own requirements. Either way, Paychex can make your responsibilities easier to manage.
