COBRA

Question: COBRA insurance question: How long do you need to stay employed with a company to receive COBRA? My guess is that if you sign an employment contract with a company that awards benefits, you enroll in the benefits program, and depart (voluntarily) after 2 months, you will be covered under the option of COBRA. In other words, there is no law that states that an employee must be at an employer for X months/years in order to be awarded the opportunity to continue benefits under COBRA when they departs. Correct?

Answer: The law is, as long as you had coverage in effect the last full day you were employed, you are eligible for COBRA, IF your employer is subject to cobra. You are only covered under COBRA, if YOU pay the premium. Correct, there's no length of time you must be employed before you are able to elect COBRA.

Question: Can a person continue with Cobra insurance if they get temp work with no insurance? My family currently has cobra insurance (the last 7 months) since my husband was laid off. He has been asked to come work a temp job that will not last long or provide insurance. By doing this will this disqualify us from being able to continue cobra with his former employer?

Answer: As long as your husband's employer continues their health plan he has the right to continue the COBRA coverage for the next 18 months. Whether he is employed or not is not a factor. A group health plan may terminate continuation coverage earlier than the end of the maximum period for any of the following reasons: * Premiums are not paid in full on a timely basis; * The employer ceases to maintain any group health plan; * A qualified beneficiary begins coverage under another group health plan after electing continuation coverage, as long as that plan doesn’t impose an exclusion or limitation affecting a preexisting condition of the qualified beneficiary; * A qualified beneficiary becomes entitled to Medicare benefits after electing continuation coverage; or * A qualified beneficiary engages in conduct that would justify the plan in terminating coverage of a similarly situated participant or beneficiary not receiving continuation coverage (such as fraud). If continuation coverage is terminated early, the plan must provide the qualified beneficiary with an early termination notice.

Question: How is the COBRA IDL used to support communications between objects that have been implemented in different pr How is the COBRA IDL used to support communications between objects that have been implemented in different programing languages? Exlain why this approach may cause performance problems if there are radical differences between the languages used for object implementation.

Answer: CORBA IDL will create a standard format to be used between the languages. Thus the definition, offset and orientation of each of the parts is defined by the IDL. Then the IDL compiler will translate that information into the correct structures for each language. This can cause performance hits if the languages (or machines) are of a radically different architecture. Then a lot of time can be lost converting between the two formats.

Question: How much does insurance cost with Cobra benefits? Obama says this is offered to unemployed workers, however, they still have to pay Cobra, so how much is it? Will it be less than what was taken out of their weekly checks for insurance? Please send a link. I heard Cobra is expensive.

Answer: The cost of COBRA is equal to the employee's contribution plus the employer's so this means you are paying the entire amount. At my employer if I wanted to COBRA to cover my family then the cost would be almost $1400 per month, and this is much more than what I'm contributing from my paycheck. I have a friend who just lost his job, and he was told that his COBRA (for himself alone) would be over $900 per month. Most people who are unemployed can't afford to COBRA at these rates. The only advantages to doing a COBRA are if you think you can get a job quickly then you don't have to worry about medical care expenses - especially if you have a condition that requires treatment plus you continue coverage which avoids the pre-existing conditions clause if you attempt to buy private medical coverage since you can't go without medical coverage from more than 63 days or they can exclude any pre-existing conditions.

Question: What is the difference between a Ford Mustang GT and a Ford Mustang Cobra? I think the cobra is completely different from the mustang, but my son thinks the cobra is a type of mustang.

Answer: Cobras are high performance GT's which are mass produced by both Ford and Shelby American Inc. Cobras are supercharged, have different decals, paint jobs, exhaust systems, and performance parts.

Question: How can i get Cobra Starship to perfrom at my 15th birthday party? im going to have a Quinceanera its like a sweet 16 but for hispanics. and i really want Cobra starship to perform at my party! it would be a dream come true but i don't know how to hire them.

Answer: im sure she was looking for sarcasm guys, i wanted a similar band to play at my birthday party so this is what you need to do go to their myspace or their record label and find out where it says BOOKING and their will either be an email adress or a link to where you could find out information. Once you send an email they will get back to you in a couple of days letting you know the cost which is usually really really expensive. if you want to try another way you can leave the band messages on myspace, facebook, or twitter begging them to come do this for you! if you try really hard and ask all the time everyday, who knows? they might respond and come to your birthday party, but if you want a gurantee be ready to pay the big bucks

Question: Who else is happy about the subsidized Cobra from the Stimulus Bill? Who else is happy about the subsidized Cobra that is in the stimulus bill? The subsidized cobra premiums will help many many laid-off people until they can find work again.

Answer: I think it could help some people who really need health coverage. COBRA will only be subsidized for 9 months. I did not realize how bad the health insurance problem was until I got laid off. COBRA is expensive so I have been trying to find a lower priced coverage. Unfortunately I keep getting turned down for coverage due to a pre-existing condition. The condition is, I am taking medicine to keep my Cholesterol down. That and the fact I saw a doctor in the past year are my only issues. I am healthy and 44 years old. I never figured I would have problems finding coverage. I figured if you had problems the insurance would just cost more. It looks like the insurance and HMO's only want people with Absolutely no problems. I now realize something really does need to be done about health care in our country!!

Question: How many days do I have to work in a company to qualify for COBRA insurance? I might be leaving a job that I just started a month and a half ago, and am wondering whether or not I'll have the option of having COBRA insurance when or if I leave. Is there an amount of time that you have to work there, to qualify for Cobra enrollment? If you can, please provide link to your suggested time. Thanks.

Answer: It seems time does not matter. The company size, why you left and if you were fully covered seemed to be the determination factors. This was informative: http://www.dol.gov/ebsa/faqs/faq_consume…

Question: How much gas mileage would 2003 cobra and a 2003 mustang gt get? I looked it up, and on a few sites it said the cobra gets 8 mpg highway? Now I know this is a gas guzzling muscle car but, I somewhat doubt it gets that little. Can someone help me out here?

Answer: No, that's ridiculous! The Cobras are actually rated at 16mpg city/22mpg highway. The GTs are rated at 18mpg city/26mpg highway. But you probably would get 8mpg if you drove it like a maniac and always floored the accelerator.

Question: How much more venom does a Cobra have than a Taipan? If Cobra is the most venomous how much more venom does it have than the second most venomous, the taipan?

Answer: No, the Inland Taipan is the most venomous of the two. For the King Cobra, it takes 0.90 mg of venom to kill 50% of a group of mice in 24 hours. It takes 0.3 mg of venom for the Inland Taipan to kill 50% of the mice in a group in 24 hours, proving that Inland Taipans are much more deadly than King Cobras. However, humans are not mice. Mice are much, much smaller than humans. Also, if a King Cobra bit an old man, it would kill him faster than if a King Cobra bit a young man. So, you also have to take in mind the age, size, health, etc of the human. The hook-nosed sea snake killed the most mice with the least amount of venom. It takes 0.2 mg of venom to kill 50% of a group of mice in 24 hours, making this the most deadly species.

Question: How long does it take to get COBRA info in mail? Im in between jobs and my wife is due with our baby girl with in the next 2 weeks. My employer said I should get a packet with the COBRA info with in 7-10 days well that has come and gone. My worry is she'll give birth and we'll have to pay out of pocket which is expensive. Can i get all the paperwork submitted so she is covered when she gives birth? Or does it take a while to get all that in order?

Answer: They say 7-10 days, but that's a lie, as you have already noticed. Your former employer has 30 days to notify the administrator of the qualifying event. The administrator has 14 days to get you the election form. It can take up to 90 days to get the coverage in place. It's retroactive to the date of the qualifying event, but if you haven't got the cash to pay for your expenses out of pocket, you can't incur those expenses, and it will save them money, so they are in no hurry. If you have plenty of cash, of course, then they are obliged to reimburse you, but as there's no loss to them for dragging their feet in this case, they're happy to drag their feet. I can almost guarantee you that the hospital will consider you uninsured at that time your kid is born. Tell them that you're under COBRA and haven't gotten the paperwork processed yet; it's not like this is anything new to them, and they'll likely cut you a break.
