The Employee Benefits Security Administration section of DOL.gov provides information about employees’ rights involving group health plans and other employee benefits.
The U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) publishes the website. Content is from the Employee Benefits Security Administration (EBSA), an agency within the DOL.
Information includes Workers and Families (discussing rights to health insurance in connection with life events like marriage, childbirth, death, divorce, job loss, a new job and retirement); Laws (listing and explaining laws involving health coverage); and the Health Benefits Advisor (an interactive guide through the applicable laws).
Tips for use:
– For information about continuation of health coverage during a leave from work, see the Family and Medical Leave Act and the Family and Medical Leave Act Advisor in a different section of the DOL website.
