Again it depends on the plan. Someone needs to read it thoroughly and give a legal opinion as to the geographic scope of coverage. I do not know of any 30 day limit. It is either 14 or 44.

: My wife and have recently quit or jobs in Buffalo, NY and moved to Cleveland
: Ohio. We were employed by two different companies, which offered the same
: coverage plans. Our cheapest option was to be covered separate from one
: another. Upon putting in my notice I rec'd the forms necessary to file for
: COBRA Insurance from Independent Health. However, my wife has been told (in
: writing) by Inlighten that they can't offer COBRA insurance because we have
: moved out of state. Inlighten waited until past the 30 day limit to inform
: us of this and even if she is entitled to the coverage it is too late to
: file. Inlighten is a private company that employs more than 20 people and
: to the best of my knowledge they are responsible for offering COBRA coverage
: by Federal Law.

: Please advise,
