This is not usually true. Most run through end of the month. When a plan is setup this decision is made, not when the employee actually resigns.

Dick move but you’re leaving them, so you have no reason to expect them to keep you on. They don’t owe you anything.

Do they have a policy about that? If they do and followed it, then not a dick move. If they have no policy, then it depends on what they usually do. Every company is different. You have access to COBRA, by law. Go that route, I have never had to do that but I think it is through the same provider.

If he prepaid his benefits for the month, they do owe him. A prorated refund of his premium or coverage through the month.

I think that’s the fastest I’ve ever been downvoted. Found your HR rep.

If your premiums were paid, I dont see how they can cancel your coverage mid month.

Very much literally he paid for a service that they then took back on. It doesn't get much more of being owed something than when you pay for it. So many people want to act like it makes them tough and manly for bending over to make it easier to get fricked in the arse.

I didn’t realize they had discretion to cancel your medical? I assumed it would have gone through at least the latest period you paid for via your paycheck…

Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity. Hanlon's Razor.

I'd call them up and ask if they did it intentionally before you get butt hurt over what you think they might have done. There are some truly dumb people in this world and it could be that someone new was unintentionally screwed something up.

Sounds like they were being dicks...but verify before you lean in on it.

For what it's worth, the second you give them notice...none of that shite matters. You're dead to them...especially if you decline a counter.

Sounds like the CEO has a relative that needs a good paying job and yours could be available.

Yes, if you paid for medical insurance at mid month, which cover 3/15 - 3/31 then you are covered. Lawyer time if they deny you that.

Not to get political but healthcare being tied to employment is so retarded. Why did “we” let this happen?

The only other option is socialized medicine with no choices and bureaucratic nightmare for 300M Americans?

Americans can't afford family plans at $2,000 a month.

The company seems like they’re acting pretty petty. A lot of companies do that. You should have cobra benefits, though, as everyone else is mentioned, congrats on your new gig.

If they’re going to do that then ask them for a refund of the part if the premium you paid on the 15th. If you want to be a total a-hole. I’d just move on personally

Your premium for the month was paid, you should call the carrier.

Just keep in mind that you have access to Cobra and you can take advantage of it retroactively…meaning you have like 3 months to sign up AFTER you have a medical event.

I’ve literally never heard of such a thing especially of it’s already paid through the end of the month
