Federal and California COBRA basically provides that if you are no longer covered under a group health plan, you can keep the coverage for 18 (Federal) or 36 months (California) at 2 to 10% more than the employer was paying for you. This may or may not be less expensive than getting your own plan. Shop and compare the figures, you might save a lot of money. With your own coverage you have the option of taking a higher deductible, HSA or not taking maternity dental, life or vision to save $$$. When you lose coverage under a group plan, your Employer should automatically send you all the information about COBRA continuation coverage. If you have problems, we can lead you in the right direction. It's basically though something that you arrange directly through your Former Employer's HR Department or Insurance Company. When you're COBRA expires, we can help you with continuation coverage under HIPAA or other options.

What is employers non ownership auto liability insurance?

An employer's non-owner is usually an endorsement to a commercial auto or commercial general liability policy that is actually called hired and non-owned coverage. I always recommend this endorsement to my commercial clients because it is very inexpensive and provides coverage to the employer in cases where an employer has to drive to the bank or post office or similar errands. If an accident occurs the endorsement provides coverage for the employer only. It does not provide coverage to the employee who is still required to carry their own insurance. it provides secondary coverage only.

It is exactly what it says. The EMPLOYER provides health insuance coverage if you desire to avail yourself of it. The employer MAY cover all of the cost, some of the cost or none of the cost.
