The US Department of Labor Administers (ERISA), the federal law that applies to employee benefit plans such as 401 (K), Cobra, and health benefit plans.
Government employees (federal, state, and local) and church or church association employee's benefit plans are not under the U.S. Department of Labor. Complaints about government or church plans should be directed to the administrator of the plan or the employer.
Federal law requires that employers with 20 or more employees provide employees and covered family members with the opportunity to continue health care coverage at a group rate when employment is discontinued or a qualifying event (divorce, death of a spouse, or child loses dependent status) occurs.
