Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is C. Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act.

Explanation:

COBRA stands for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act. This law guarantees employees the right to make payments for group medical insurance in order to maintain the insurance they would otherwise lose after:

Most people can keep insurance for up to 18 months. Some people may be able to keep it for a few months longer than that.
