Guaranteed COBRA Administration with COBRASOURCE
COBRA administration is made more complicated because the laws are administered by several agencies.
The Departments of Labor and Treasury have jurisdiction over private-sector group health plans.
The Department of Health and Human Services administers the continuation coverage law as it affects public sector (state and local governmental) health plans.
The Labor Department's interpretive and regulatory responsibility is limited to the disclosure and notification requirements of COBRA.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS), Department of the Treasury, has issued regulations on COBRA provisions relating to eligibility, coverage and premiums in 26 CFR Part 54, "Continuation Coverage Requirements Applicable to Group Health Plans." Both the Departments of Labor and Treasury share jurisdiction for enforcement of these provisions.
The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS), Department of Health and Human Services, has advisory jurisdiction with respect to COBRA as it applies to state and local governmental employers, their group health plans and employees (42 U.S.C. 300bb-1 - 300bb-8 (title XXII of the Public Health Service Act)).
Any way you look at it, COBRA administration, with its ever changing laws and responsibilities, is a risky business. Administration of your COBRA program can be a full-time job and failure to meet established mandates can have devastating effects on your business.
