If you’ve recently been laid off or are in between jobs, you still have the right to affordable health coverage. But just what are your options?
Firstly, inquire about COBRA coverage, which allows your previous employer to continue your health coverage if you come to be laid off. If your company qualifies for COBRA, find out what you have to do to take advantage of what the program offers.
You can also visit your local unemployment office to learn about the extent of health benefits you may be eligible to receive during your period of unemployment.
Finally, you can call your insurance agent and inquire about available policies for struggling clients. Let them know about your situation, since often telling them what has happened and what you’re doing to fix the situation will get you good coverage for a cheaper price.
But don’t go any longer without taking action. Don’t put your health at risk. There are options and there is something available.
