My estranged husband canceled my and our kids health insurance. We are not yet divorced but legally separated. Do we qualify?

If you lost your health insurance in anticipation of divorce, that's a qualifying event. Are you and/or the kids healthy? if so, get cheaper rates for heath insurance at the top in the green box.

Contact your ex-husband's HR department. They have to notify the carrier of the termination of your group health insurance. His employer has 30 days to notify the health plan admin people of the termination. The group health plan admin people have 14 days to get the paperwork to you. You will have 60 days to elect the coverage (don't send in a waiver) and another 45 days after that to pay the rather large premiums. :P
