Definition of Prior Year
In the following statement, what is the meaning of "prior year." Does it mean the calendar year or the coverage year? My employer was over 20 through early this year, but was well over that last year. The coverage period runs from 9/30 each year. Which date do I use?
COBRA generally requires that group health plans sponsored by employers with 20 or more employees in the prior year offer employees and their families the opportunity for a temporary extension of health coverage (called continuation coverage) in certain instances where coverage under the plan would otherwise end
