Can MERP benefits end at termination?

[Guest jevans]

Dear folks:

I'm thinking about revising my company's Medical Expense Reimbursement Plan, which is all employer-funded and located in Texas. Are we allowed to stop an employee's MERP benefit on the last day of employment? Or are we required to provide MERP benefits till COBRA benefits end?

Does anyone know of a good firm to draft a MERP for an economical price? Our current plan has errors.

Thanks!

MERPs are subject to COBRA continuation rules.

For a better understanding of the various issues involved, you might want to search Google using the term "MERP COBRA" (without the quote marks).
