[QUOTE="Marcie Mac, post: 146705, member: 47"] I can't help you with what qualifies - SO illness is pretty terminal but even then we had to get affidavits from his doctors stating that :( and he was still turned down - had to get the local congressman involved. My difficult child was qualified in the IEP process and had services until he was 22 unless he graduated or got his GED - there were dual services thru the school and the Dept of Mental Health. I would check the website for your state and look under the Social Services section. Ca has a program called Healthy Families or Healthy Kids - daughter has her three kids on that and even though she makes decent money, because she is the sole support she qualified - maybe your state has something like that?? But whatever you do try and not let the Cobra lapse until you have something else in place. I think it was good that Congress passed the Cobra law, but they should have gone a step further and said you would not pay such high premiums. If you are covered under the group when you take Cobra, you should get benefit of the same premiums everyone else does. I know some of the moms on here have benefits for their kids so someone may know how to proceed Marcie [/QUOTE]
