Guest guest Posted February 1, 2002 Report Share Posted February 1, 2002 Hi all! I feel that I owe so many of you personal e-mails, but I am really trying to keep many balls in the air these days. 2002 has not been a great year so far for Jens and I -- he was laid off on Jan 10, and I am going to lose my job on May 1, if not sooner. I've been trying hard to stay focused at work, on work, but some days that is easier said than done. I am updating my resume and contacting every person I've ever met in my life in the hopes that I can find out about a position taht will fit. And I have been worrying alot about what we are going to do when Jens' severence pay runs out. The only good news in all of this is that I will be able to pick up our insurance and we won't have to pay the full COBRA co-pay until August, so we have a good deal of time to find a new job. An interesting bit of info about pre-existing condition clauses -- I looked it up recently: If you go from one policy (through an employer, for example) directly to another without any lapse in coverage, the pre-existing condition clause doesn't apply. Only if you let your coverage lapse and you are uninsured for 60 days (I think it is 62 or 63, but 60 is a good, safe number) then you can be denied coverage for an entire 12 months for a pre-existing condition. I hope this helps someone -- I never knew the full details. One other question: Do any of you have term life insurance that you have gotten after the PSC diagnosis? I was turned down recently and would like to get some. Thanks in advance! Take care and I hope to get caught up one of these days!
