[QUOTE="PPH_over_9000, post: 5686431, member: 79761"] (TL;DR at bottom) So I slack on keeping up with my mail. Last week I started going through a huge stack and found two letters dated differently informing me that I was short on hours and if I wanted to enroll in COBRA then my monthly payment would be [x] for medical or [x] for medical/vision/dental. One was from last year, but the other said that I needed to make my deicision by 09/23/23-- so like I said, I kind of panicked and started asking the wrong questions to the wrong people. As far as I know right now that, everything's situated. I just gotta work more hours every week to avoid these dumb situations, I guess. I only mentioned anything about my voluntary lay-off this week because I've been told by co-workers in my building that when you take that weeklong layoff your insurance is absolutely, unequivocably, 100% going to lapse until you're able to meet the requirements during the next period. [B]TL;DR [/B]-- To be clear, I haven't received any mail prior to or ever since being asked if I wanted the week off that's related to anything about this week off. All the papers that set this in motion were saying that I just didn't have enough hours (one was dated in 2021, but the other was sent like less than a month ago) and had to either make up the difference out-of-pocket or go for COBRA, and my dumba$$ only focused on the COBRA part. The union hall was super helpful in dealing with my ignorance. [/QUOTE]
