My boss told me there's another case that was done back in January that could hurt me. FUCK. The thing I'm most afraid of in this situation is losing my health insurance. The kids are on my policy and we can't transfer over to Brendon's until October should I lose my job.

I'm so tired of being anxious over work. I know my boss will try to keep me employed, but I don't know if they'll do like they did when they put me on a written warning 3 years ago and give me back my telecommuting privileges when the 2 month period is over, or if I'll lose them permanently. I don't want to be seperated from my family for any length of time, but Katie has school and I don't want to move her before the end of the school year - well, till after all the trips are done.

I wish I could stop thinking about this until someone actually tells me something.

why wouldn't you be able to switch to brendon's insurance until october? if it comes to that, "major life changes" are generally taken into account for things like getting on health insurance through work even not during the normal enrollment periods. "major life changes" include things like marriages, children being born or adopted, and spouses losing jobs.

I didn't think that counted - our FAQ just states marriage and birth or adoption of a child (and death, but that won't be the case for many decades).

ours states a spouse losing their job...you might want to check what brendon's HR policy on that is...a spouse losing a job is a pretty major "life change" though, so it makes sense to include it

I'll ask him to take a look tomorrow.

Also: COBRA. You can make it till October if you have to- especially since 65% is now getting paid from the stimulous package.
