Can health insurance be continued if I am recently divorced, or my dependent loses eligibility, or my employment ends?
Yes, through COBRA (a federal continuation of benefits program). The procedures to apply for coverage will be provided to you by the Employee Benefits Division of Civil Service if your employment ends or if a dependent (child or spouse) loses eligibility. You must notify the Employee Benefits Division in Albany of your decision to enroll in COBRA within 60 days of the date you (or your dependents) lose coverage.
