Q: As an employer--I have an employee that has a child turning 25 and wants this child to be put on cobra--Can this child once on cobra affect my premiums for the next renewal period due to his use of insurance? If so --this doesn't seem fair to the other employees that are paying the current fees charged them.
A: An employee or dependent on COBRA continuation will not affect the employers premiums at renewal. The health status of the employee or dependent will not be a facor for an increase of premiums that the employer pays.
