cobra or no cobra
Apr 2, 2009

I am currently on short term disability from work due to kidney cancer. my right kidney was removed last november and I started on my 6 month std. In mid february, my employer informed that they were switching insurance plans and I had to go COBRA eventhough I am still on std. Do I have to choose that, or are the obligated to enroll me in their new plan?

Response from Ms. Franzoi

Typically, once you are on STD, your health plan will end at a certain point and the only option would be COBRA. However, without information on your company's policy, i.e., when they end coverage under the active employee's health plan, I cannot answer your question. The COBRA option does not seem unreasonable.
