Who Cares Whether I Give a COBRA Notice for My Company's Dental Plan?
BenefitsNotes, a blog by Leonard, Street and Deinard Link to more items from this source
Nov. 27, 2012

"Employers ... may forget that COBRA extends to all group health plans, including dental, vision and medical flexible spending account plans. A recent federal district court decision highlighted the risk to employers who forget those facts.... [An] employee who at the time she terminated employment was covered by the group dental plan, but not the group medical plan ... obtained new employment about five months later that provided her with dental coverage and during the time she did not have dental coverage, she did not incur any dental claims.... The penalty to the employer: $37,950 for failure to give a dental COBRA notice ... [plus] 42,192.50 for attorney's fees and $2,910.87 for costs for an aggregate of $83,063.45. " [Evans v. Books-A-Million, No. CV-07-S-2172-S (N.D. Ala. Oct. 29, 2012)]
