I’ve had my own health insurance since I was hired for my current position in June of 2007. Before that, I had individual health insurance (which, dear God, even at 22 and relatively healthy, the premiums were a fucking nightmare – especially when you’re only making $7.50 an hour and only working 32 hours a week). In college, I was covered under my father’s insurance.
Apparently, my father has been paying for my coverage under his health plan since the last day I was eligible (December 31 2006). Mind you, if I tried to use an insurance ID card through his group coverage, not only would I be denied coverage, I could probably be penalized for fraud. Several times, my father has been on the company website and tried to remove me as a covered individual, but to no avail. I guess he finally went down to HR and made sure it was taken care of.
Today, in the mail, I received information on COBRA coverage because, hey, I’m no longer being “covered” by my father’s company’s group insurance.
The reason cited for the discontinuation of my health insurance coverage?
