Mike:

I don't know how you would convince the COBRA health plan administrator or the health insurance carrier to take you back and I think they would suspect you had claims during that time. How would they verify your son hadn't had some expensive procedure during that time?

It wold be clearly outside the plan rules, although they might have some discrestion.
