I was advised my position was eliminated and I was being laid off with 5/24 being my last day. I'm using up 2 weeks of vacation accrued before my last day. I do have to sign the separation agreement by 5/24.
Before being advised of the lay off, I was planning on surgery and applied for STD starting the day of my surgery 6/24. I have since moved up my surgery date since I've been laid off and can't look for a job until the surgery and recovery are completed. I was planning on being out for 6 weeks.
Can I still go on STD and receive medical benefits? Cobra is very expensive. I can't look for work until I'm recovered. I have rescheduled my surgery for 5/20 - 4 days before my last day. I'm assuming I'd loose my separation money which covers my 4 years of service.
When does COBRA go into effect if I'm laid off and on STD? Need some answers quick. Thanks,
