What is the name of your state? NEW JERSEY
My husband works for a large company and in order for me to be covered under his insurance plan as I have been for last 3 yrs in his renewal packet comes a note from his employer that states that I must enroll in healthcare coverage if it is available at my place of business (which is a very small company and although there is a plan it is very expensive $45 a week for single) for myself and then they will reduce his weekly rate by $5.00 a week which is nothing.
If I do not enroll in benefits coverage at my place of work they will drop me from the plan. We are struggling...living paycheck to paycheck.. we cannot afford to pay for healthcoverage for me and then he for family coverage (we have 2 children).
Can an employer force us to do this? EIther way it looks like I won't be covered because I cannot afford to pay at my job and his job says if I don't they will drop me.
HELP!!
