Just to clarify.... it's retroactive for 60 days. That means you don't really have to do anything for the first 45-ish, and if you don't need insurance in that time, and you get a new job, you're done.
If you do need insurance (break a leg or something), then you can apply then, and it'll take effect retroactively to your departure date.
If you get to 45-ish days and still don't have a new job that'll start before the 60 day mark, you'll need to sign up, or you risk getting hurt after the 60 day mark, when you then can't get insurance, and you'll be SOL.
I am not a lawyer, I've just been between jobs many times in my career :)

- chris_wot 12y agoIt's posts like these that make me thankful to be in a country with a free health care system.
- zbowling 12y agoIn the pre-existing condition days, this could still be an issue, because not being covered at any point would reset the clock.
- joesmo 12y agoI don't see how. There is no lapse in coverage at all. That's what retroactive means.
