My understanding is that Cobra becomes available after termination. Therefore, she's already unemployed.

- free652 13y agoKinda. My GF can get a cobra during an unpaid leave. So my GF is expecting a baby in December, so for the 6 months she has discounted healthcare and then if she doesn't come back. She gets unpaid leave and Cobra. Technically she wont be terminated, but she will have Cobra.
- lftl 13y agoCOBRA is available immediately once you're unemployed (left voluntarily or most of the time if you're fired), and it will still be the only short-term option for someone in Molly's position under the ACA. If you become unemployed and ill, you'll still need COBRA to cover you until you can get on an individual plan which will be available at the start of the next calendar year.
