Title: Union Notified Us About Medical Coveerage on April 2
Post by: Buzz on May 01, 2020, 05:13:24 PM
We were actually notified by Michael as to what to do in the event we lose insurance coverage back on April 2nd. I posted it here on that date and it was posted on 1181's website on April 4th. Judging by the questions, I'm guessing some of you missed it, but we can't blame the union for what we missed.

It mentions other alternatives available year around. There's also COBRA, of course.

Ernie says he called the number mentioned in that notice and the enrollment period has been extended beyond the 15th. However, that number is for NY residents only. NJ residents should call 866-289-3259.
