When considering a Reduction In Force (RIF), what offer might be made?
A . COBRA benefits must be provided by all employers to all employees subject to the RIF
B . Give employees the option to volunteer
C . Compliance requirements such as a severance package
D . Last In – First Out (LIFO) layoff system per the Older Workers Benefit Protection Act (OWBPA)

Answer: B

Explanation:

COBRA does not apply to every employer but to employers with 20 or more employees. Severance packages are voluntary and not compliance-related. The OWBPA does not require a LIFO system in RIFs – the OWBPA protects the employee benefits of older workers.
