Question of the Week - New Company and COBRA

Written by BAS | Sep 12, 2024 3:24:03 PM

Q.- If a company is new, is it subject to COBRA this year? They would have had 0 employees for 50% of 2023.

A.- Not if it is truly a new company. A plan is not subject to COBRA for any calendar year if all employers maintaining the plan employed fewer than 20 employees on a typical business day during the preceding calendar year. A new employer did not employ 20 employees in the prior year.
