I am graduating, and or, will not have a GE next term, can I keep the coverage?
Yes! There is a federal law called COBRA. COBRA allows you to stay on an employer-based health insurance plan past your employment ending.
You can be on COBRA for 18 months. It is the EXACT same coverage you have now. Same ID#, same networks, same payouts, etc..
The only difference is you go from paying 5% of the premiums to 102% of the premiums. COBRA has a two month window to enroll from the period your coverage ends. You may jump back onto the GTFF plan under COBRA anytime in that window. If you enroll into COBRA in the second month of the window, you will need to pay the first month premium as well.
COBRA is month by month. You can enroll just yourself, or any dependents with or without you–you no longer have to be on the plan to have dependent on the insurance.
