My wife’s employer has chosen not to offer me insurance through their group plan when they switch to a new plan. Since I am losing coverage can I get coverage through cobra
In this instance, that is not the case. The COBRA benefit is a continuation of the same plan you had previously. Since they are changing the plan, this may not apply. However, you can always ask your wife’s HR Department for more details regarding their specific rules. There may also be state COBRA laws that apply to this situation.
