Can You Lose Health Insurance While On Fmla


Under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA), an employee is entitled to up to 12 weeks of job-protected leave for qualified medical or family reasons. While on FMLA, the employer is generally required to maintain the employee's health insurance benefits. However, there are instances where an employee may lose health insurance while on FMLA, such as if the employee fails to make required premium payments during the leave period. Understanding the specific terms and conditions of health insurance coverage during FMLA is crucial for employees to ensure uninterrupted access to healthcare benefits. Employers must adhere to FMLA regulations and communicate clearly with employees about the implications of taking leave on their health insurance coverage.
