Hi ,
My husband had been with UPS in NC for 27 years including 5 PT years. He hurt his back at the end of February in 2020. D/t COVID it’s taken much longer to receive Work Comp care.
After we hit the yr. mark of health coverage we were told it’s now the responsibility of member to pick up Cobra. We were unaware of this. We just feel that if not for COVID he more than likely would’ve returned to work in under the years time.
I’ve asked Teamcare and Teamsters can coverage not be extended a few months. We are being penalized and forced to pay $540 a week in Health Care. B/c I have many health issues we need to maintain full coverage for right now.
I’ve also spoken to a lawyer and no one it seems has thought or heard of extended coverage for work comp delays d/t COVID. I would value everyone’s opinion and possible options.
Thanks
