Everything Health Insurance

If you just lost your job, either by resigning or getting terminated (not terminated due to gross misconduct), then you may be eligible for the Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1985, otherwise known as COBRA.

For a name synonymous with snakes and poisons, it can help you weather out the storm while you look for a new way to cover health insurance for yourself and your loved ones. According to this act you have the right to continue your former employer’s group plan for individual or family health insurance for up to 18 months at your own expense.

If you’re currently employed, ask your HR personnel for more details.
