[QUOTE=FLY6584;1969604]I have a few questions regarding health insurance at Southwest...
First off I am trying to time my two weeks notice at my current company so that there is no break in health insurance for my family. I received a CJO on Sep 2, but still have not heard back regarding a class date so I'm expecting a class date sometime in November. My question is if you start class in November when will your health insurance take effect?
Secondly I saw in another thread someone talking about a free plan and a plan that costs about $300 a month at Southwest. Does anyone have anymore details about the plans available at Southwest?
Thanks![/QUOTEs]
If you can't time it just right and do have a gap you have some options:
1. Take COBRA from your old company - that will require you to pay the whole premium (not just your share of the actual premium) but if it is only a couple of weeks it shouldn't be too bad.
2. You can also (if you and the family are relatively healthy) buy a short term medical policy on the open market.
Good Luck and Pray you don't have to exercise either of the above options.
