Re: insurance questions

Juanita...Sorry I gave incorrect information. It is up to 3 years...see below.

In cases of divorce or legal separation, the dependent-spouse and his or her children can buy COBRA insurance from the covered spouse's employer for up to three years. (When employees lose their jobs or have their hours reduced, employees and their dependents can buy coverage for an 18-month period only.) Regardless of the qualifying event, COBRA coverage can be terminated by the employer if you fail to pay COBRA premiums or if the employer stops offering health care coverage completely.
