Are employers required to continue health insurance when an employee leaves on disability?

Whether an employer is required to continue health insurance for an employee who leaves due to disability depends on several factors, including the size of the employer and the specific terms of the health insurance plan. Under the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), employers with 20 or more employees must offer continued health insurance coverage for a limited time after employment ends, which may include disability reasons. However, the specifics can vary, so it's essential for employees to review their plan and consult with HR or a legal expert for guidance on their rights and options.
