Re: COBRA/Bankruptcy question

[Guest guest]

I hate to be the bearer of not so good news, but if there is no company,

there is no COBRA. I am not sure at which point of the bankruptcy it becomes

official. Most likely there is a provision in your policy to convert to an

individual policy. The cost may be 2 or 3 times that of COBRA, but if you

only need to do it for a month or two to get a date, you may want to check

into it.

I will pray for you!

Oops -- sorry -- appears I was wrong and I'm not a COBRA specialist. You

might want to call the insurance company and see if there's anything you can

do. I was under the impression that with COBRA -- you got the 18 month

window regardless -- so sorry. =(
