Hi Big Blue:
blb recommended I discuss my son's insurance dilemma with you.
My ex-husband quit his job and did not maintain COBRA benefits for our son (again). I did not become aware of the same until well past the 30 day requirement (per the U.S. Department of Labor). I was unable to add him to my plan as a result.
Thankfully my son's medical needs have been minimal up to this point and open enrollment begins next month. Also, I am in the process of modifying the divorce decree to make me responsible for health care instead of my ex. That way I have better control over my son's health care.
I guess my question is if the court denies the request (which I highly doubt), is there any way I can protect my son from being uninsured as a result of my ex's job hopping in the future?
Was there something more I could have done to make sure he was added to my plan?!?
Thank you,
K
