Does anyone know why they don't send the HIPPA loss of coverage/COBRA Information until after your benefits have expired. They are telling me approx 5days later this information is mailed out. Is there a reason why this packet cant be send beforehand so there is no lapse in coverage? I cannot wait to be done with this company. It has been horrible working here.

@4lje: Just sign up for it and use your existing insurance card. If it's in process you insurance is still valid.
It sounds nice that it is retroactive, but what happens when you have no active proof of insurance on August 1st?
And use the "Health and Insurance" tab after signing in for info and signing up for COBRA. Or use the phone number at the previous post.

Reposting here my response from the other thread:
You can call HR Help at (877) 258 3699, Option 4. I spoke to an agent and she said Honeywell system has to be updated first for end-of-coverage status before COBRA enrollment can be opened. But not to worry the agent said because COBRA enrollment would be retroactive to August 1st so there would be no lapse in coverage. I suggest calling to get more details such as the cost of premiums under COBRA specific to your case.
The best benefit is not working at Honeywell anymore.
