We are not COBRA. For specific contract details about your current company policy, contact your health plan administrator.

From the DOL COBRA factsheet:
"Group health plans for employers with 20 or more employees on more than 50 percent of its typical business days in the previous calendar year are subject to COBRA. Both full and part-time employees are counted to determine whether a plan is subject to COBRA. Each part-time employee counts as a fraction of an employee, with the fraction equal to the number of hours that the part-time employee worked divided by the hours an employee must work to be considered full time."
So let's say a company had 10 Full time and 10 half time. Those 10 half time would equate to 5 FT, so it would be 15 for COBRA purposes.
