What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Texas
I was laid off from a company in Dec. 08 (this is a company wide seasonal lay off to begin back to work in Jan 09). During that time I found another job, because my first job had moved 400 miles away from where I live. Therfore, I terminated with the first company. I am currently with the new company, but finding it more difficult to do my job. I have terminal cancer (diagnosed June 06) prostate with bone mets. I am on COBRA from first company which started on 1-1-09. I am not eligible for insurance with new company until August. I am considering going on disablilty, because of the cancer. Would I be able to get an extension of the COBRA after the first 18 months, which will expire in June 10. Thank you.
