Can an employer eliminate your insurance benefits prior to final pay?

Pleaseadvise2017
I was notified by employer on November 20th my position would be eliminated. This was communicated verbally in a face to face meeting with the company President. He stated I would be paid for an additional 2 week pay period ( bi-weekly pay period.) therefore I’d be paid on November 23 (for the previous pay period) and my final pay would be on Dec 8th.
As promised I received my final pay on Dec 8th. However I was not informed my insurance benefits would be eliminated effective Nov 30th of the previous pay period. Can an employer eliminate your benefits prior to final pay? I’ have a dr. Appt next week but no longer have insurance. Also, I did not receive notice of insurance cancellation or Cobra. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There are some policies that whenever employee gets separated from organization the insurance benefit eXtingush automatically so need to check your policy terms & conditions first to reply.
