broybardhan Posted October 2, 2016 Report Share Posted October 2, 2016 Hi, I have recently changed a job in August and went from employer A (say, where I was on STEM-OPT, to a new employer (say B) which has sponsored my H1B. More precisely, my STEM-OPT terminated on Aug 15 for employer A and new H1B (academic) started right after 10 days on Aug 25. I have been recently notified by employer A about the COBRA insurance but it shows very high premium even for a short period (it also says I have to respond to COBRA before 10/31). My question is it mandatory to choose COBRA insurance for this short period of time-can there be any legal complication if I do not choose to have it. My health insurance benefits from the employer B starts from the the first week of October and I will be covered after that. Link to comment
pontevecchio Posted October 4, 2016 Report Share Posted October 4, 2016 Since it is after the fact treat it as water under the bridge and move on. I assume the new employer has provided HI. Link to comment
