Call up reserves, USERRA, and employer voluntary contribution

[jeanine]

With the call-up of the reserves, we have a lot of companies asking questions of continuation coverage. I know it has to be provided under USERRA and that it is very similar to COBRA. Couple of questions: Is it OK to use a modified COBRA notice to provide notice? If the employer voluntarily contributes partial or total cost of coverage, are there any discrimination issues I should be aware of?
