Beth:
That depends on your official classification, did you get a COBRA notice when you first joined Americorps? It should be disclosed there, or contact your benefits administrator.
If you have no or only minor pre existing conditions, get quotes for major medical coverage, it might be a lot less than COBRA.

: Message: I am an Americorps volunteer, through a program called Public
: Allies North Carolina. I have been receiving health care coverage
: through Strategic Resource Company from Columbia, SC, as part of my
: service benefits for Americorps. My term of service ends July 4, 2003.
: Am I eligible to elect COBRA to cover my health insurance after the 4th
: of July?
: On the list of things that make one ineligible for COBRA, I was fine on
: all, but was concerned about the "federal employee" question. I am a
: paid volunteer, and a small part of my stipend comes from the federal
: government. My check comes from the Public Allies organization, a
: nationwide service organization.
: If I am eligible, will I still be able to receive the same coverage I
: have now, and how much will it cost me per month?
: Thanks so much!
: Also, is there a phone number I can call to find out more?
: Sincerely,
: Beth Salmon
