I was notified by my employer on November 20th that 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 two-week pay period (bi-weekly pay period). Therefore, I’d be paid on November 23rd (for the previous pay period) and my final pay would be on December 8th.
As promised, I received my final pay on December 8th. However, I was not informed that my insurance benefits would be eliminated effective November 30th of the previous pay period. Can an employer eliminate your benefits prior to final pay? I have a doctor's appointment 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!
