False. The Equal Pay Act does not specifically require health insurance benefits extension after termination. The Equal Pay Act of 1963 is a U.S. federal law that addresses wage disparities based on gender. It requires employers to provide equal pay for equal work, regardless of employee gender. The Act ensures that men and women receive comparable compensation for performing substantially similar work under similar conditions.
While the Equal Pay Act does not include provisions regarding the extension of health insurance benefits after termination, there are other laws and regulations, such as the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA), that govern the continuation of health insurance coverage for terminated employees. COBRA requires certain employers to offer employees and their dependents the option to continue their health insurance coverage for a specified period after termination. This is provided they pay the required premiums.
It's imperative to consult the specific laws and regulations in your jurisdiction for accurate and up-to-date information regarding equal pay and health insurance benefits continuation after termination.
