Famiy Medical Leave Act/ Insurance Questions

[Guest guest]

I am a school teacher and as of right now, I know that I can not go

back to work in August. I am planning on filing the FMLA and hoping

to buy myself 3 more months. I've never done this before. Am I

just going to have to pay my part of my health insurance? I am not

on my husbands insurance yet and we are going to call to see if I

can enroll, but we don't know when his enrollment period is.

If I lose my job God forbid, what can I do about health insurance?

Do you think my husband's will pick me up or will I be considered a

pre-existing condition even though I don't have a diagnosis? We are

nervous about this situation because we all know how important

having good health insurance is. RIght now I have BC/Bs PPO the

sate health plan of SC.

Any of your advice/opinions would be appreciated.
