Continuing Health Benefits After Job Loss in West Virginia
This video explores health-insurance continuation options for home care workers in West Virginia after employment ends. Both the federal COBRA law and West Virginia’s limited “mini-COBRA” provisions allow workers to maintain coverage for a period following termination.
Who we empower every day
By Role
- Agency Owners – Communicate benefits availability to caregivers, support transition and maintain workforce morale.
By Persona
- Supervisors – Ensure departing staff receive correct information about health coverage continuation and coordinate hand-over.
- Billers/Payroll – Integrate benefit continuation options and ensure all required notices/forms are administered.
- Caregivers – Understand their rights to maintain health coverage after termination, what steps are needed and deadlines.
- On-Call/Backup Coordinators – Assist with staffing transitions and retain caregiver support by informing them of coverage options.
Maintaining caregiver morale, retention and transparency around benefits is a competitive advantage. Even though not EVV-specific, offering strong benefit communication fosters trust, supports workforce stability and reduces turnover cost.
