You should be able to get COBRA coverage for 18 months following your termination from your FT job. The cost should be the same rate as was being paid before, but this may be significantly higher, if your employer has been subsidizing the premiums. You will need to ask your HR department for specifics, but may have copies of the full rates in info provided by your employer at the most recent enrollment period.
Thanks. Based on discussion in this thread, it sounds like the cost would be prohibitive. My employer subsidizes a fair portion of a very good plan. Previousl, my feeling had been that while my wife works full time I could pick up hours at the facility that I work at and I would meet the costs. I’m not even sure that I could do that? I had considered trying to work FT and school FT, but I can’t mess up my opportunity at school.
