No eye insurance...but at least I have the dental! I just hope they don't hassle me over it since I'm so close to done here. As long as the appointment happened while I was working, I don't think they can, but...

You shouldn't get any grief from the insurance company. You're still employed, you're still insured.

You should also check with your HR folks. Your coverage may last a little longer. If you're still working in may, it is possible that the premiums would be paid and you'd be covered for the rest of that month.

Plus, and this can get spendy. In most situations you can work with your employer to continue paying the premiums for up to 18 months after you leave. I've done it a couple of times. I'm pretty sure that's federal law.

The insurance company cares less about you working than they do about getting the premiums.

It's worth looking into.
