What is the name of your state? Florida
I have not been able to work for six months due to an injury caused by negligence of my employer. I am receiving medical treatment paid by work comp, but I have received no wage loss indemnity benefits and a mediation hearing is scheduled in Oct.
I received a notice from Blue Cross on Sept 12th stating my health insurance had been cancelled by my employer and the coverage ended on Aug 1st. I did not receive any notice from my employer offering continuation under Cobra. I have not received any notice of termination of employment.
Can my employer cancel my health insurance benefits while still considering me an employee?
Aren't they required by law to notify me in writing sooner than 6 weeks that my insurance has been cancelled?
What legal action if any should I take regarding this issue, and what are my rights as an injured worker?
Thanks!
