X-Message-Number: 21472 Date: Tue, 25 Mar 2003 19:45:35 -0600 Subject: Re: CryoNet #21459 - #21467 From: Brian A Stewart <> For Thomas Donaldson: Thanks. I have the information on continuing the insurance, but I can't afford it (well over $300 a month). I haven't come across much as offered by the state (I am trying to get recertified with the Divisin of Vocational Rehabilitation for my problems with depression, but, since I held a job for 7 years, I probably don't qualify [according to the person I talked with]). Oridinarily I would not have let it go this long, but at first my former employer gave me the continuation information after the deadline had passed. At that time their reasoning was that, since I was first placed on an unpaid leave of absence and, therefore, was not paying into insurance via deductions from my paycheck, *they* didn't have to pay in, and, therefore, although I had not lost my job until January, the deadline had already passed, and I was without insurance at the end of January. Early this month the Union and I finally got them to admit that they were at fault, and they extended the insurance until the end of March and gave me a new copy of the paperwork. Over the telephone they asked me to destroy the old paperwork, something I have not done! Brian Brian A. Stewart-- Madison, Wisconsin, U.S.A.
