OHIO: Governor Ted Strickland has signed into law a bill providing temporary extensions of Ohio continuation (mini-COBRA) coverage from 12 months to 15 months, permitting Ohio residents who lose their jobs to take full advantage of the federal subsidies available to help pay for the cost of mini-COBRA, or state continuation coverage. This law brings Ohio into compliance with national standards established by the National Association of Insurance Commissioners (NAIC) to provide uniformity in agent licensure and oversight. Forty-six other states have already adopted these standards.
