Response from Ms. Franzoi

Why is your wife dropping you from coverage? If it is due to a legal separation or divorce or because she is losing coverage due to termination of employment or a reduction in hours, you will be eligible for COBRA. If not, you won't be eligible for COBRA but would qualify for a HIPAA policy as long as you do not have a break in coverage greater than 63 days.
