Q:This past October the Hotel which I am employed at was recently sold to new owners. The management in the Hotel had their insurance canceled, and the Union employees kept their Insurance per the contract. The contract states that workers shall work at least 30hrs per week to retain their insurance each quarter. Well there are a few workers that will not be receiving insurance as of Jan 1. My question is do they sign up with the former company's cobra, or will the new owners have the responsibility to offer them cobra?
A:If the coverage they are on now is the new owner’s coverage, they would get their Cobra information from them as well.Cobra is a continuation of the exact same Insurance you have when you leave a job.So they would need to speak to the HR department to get that Cobra information.In your question it sounds like the old owners of the Hotel cancelled their group health plan so they must be on the new owner’s coverage.Therefore they get their Cobra packet and information from the HR department.
