Hello all! Does anyone know the deadline for deciding on COBRA and when our existing benefits expire?

COBRA is extraordinarily expensive...you will be able to enroll in Obamacare in a matter of days, Nov. 1.
You could apply for 2023 benefits which would probably begin in December based on a "major life change". Thereafter you could continue with it for as long as you wish.
You can shop for a huge variety of plans and prices on HealthCare.gov.
Good luck...stay safe and healthy too!
COBRA is a program that allows former employees of a company to continue all or part their elected benefits upon separation from a company. You will receive a letter after your employment end date stating the date by which you must enroll to keep your coverage. You will be responsible for paying 100% of your premium, plus a 2% maintenance fee. Your HR should be able to answer all your questions. Alternately, you can do an online search that states how the program is governed.
