Answer:
For more information on health benefits rights and options, see the following publications on Employee Benefit Security Administration’s (EBSA) Web site:
Employees may also call toll free 1-866-444-EBSA (3272) to request one or more copies of the publications.
If further assistance is needed, employees may contact one of EBSA’s benefits advisors at 1-866-444-EBSA (3272) or contact EBSA by email at askebsa@dol.gov.
Note: As an overall matter, employers should be guided in their relationship with their employees not only by federal employment law, but by their own employee handbooks, manuals, and contracts (including bargaining agreements), and by any applicable state or local laws.
Not all of the employment laws referenced apply to all employers or all employees, particularly state and local government agencies. For information on whether a particular employer or employee is covered by a law, please use the links provided for more detailed information. This information is not intended for federal agencies or federal employees -- they should contact the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for guidance.
