What is the name of your state (TX)?
My husband is diagnosed with cancer, exhausted his FMLA and will start long term disability soon. Technically his employment will terminate when LTD starts. The question is whether we have to switch to COBRA at that time or there is a law stating that employee can receive same benefit coverage (including medical) while on LTD? My employer has that specific term: former employee on LTD are still treated as employee for benefit purpose. But his employer did not provide any written policy regarding the situation. Is it totally up to the employer what they want to do?
Thanks.
