YouTube conversation (Chrissy Myers with another speaker) about COBRA compliance for small businesses. The speakers emphasize practical requirements: once an employer knows an employee left, they have 14 days to send the COBRA notice, and COBRA typically applies at the 20-employee threshold; the discussion recommends having a broker to track employee counts and deadlines to avoid substantial fines.

Questions this video answers

14 days.

20 employees.

From the time you know, somebody Left, you've got 14 days to send the notice out. Then they have so many days to elect. If you miss a notice, those, those fines are pretty substantial.
Having a broker that can answer those questions and ahead of time, I think oftentimes. What's the size for cobra?
20.
Okay. So.
But there's different roles and how employees count for that.
So when they hit that magic number, they don't realize they've hit that magic number. Having a broker that checks in.
Yeah.
Can. To help them on the understanding of this is new, this is what you need to do.
