Yes. don't resign today, wait. If you wait, you get an extra month of insurance. Also, with the Affordable Care Act, your upcoming insurance is dependent on your last year of work. so if you are FT for a year. and go to PT you still get FT benefits for one year. Do your research and make sure everyone you work with does as well.

You can use your pwa card up to 6 months after, but you will have to pay out of pocket and submit the doctor/ pharm bills to United health care to get reimbursement. (Because card will be deactivated but funds still available) I have already gone through layoffs with wholefoods. You have usually 30-40 days to sign and if you are over a certain age longer by law. So if you sign Oct 1st it will last til 31 st.
you have to sign the papers by tomorrow or there is no severance.
My store is NOT letting us wait to sign for the 8 week pay option. We HAVE to sign the papers by tomorrow afternoon or the offer disappears!
Don't forget to use your PWA money. See if you can pay ahead for dental cleanings or glasses/contacts. Also, if you have FSA see if WFM will pay the remaining otherwise you'll have it deducted from your last check.
not in my region. insurance ends at the end of the month when you resign. I think they were strategic in placing this at the end of the month hoping everyone wouldn't notice.
what region?
Our region is covering 90 days of insurance regardless.
Good advice, thanks.
This is good advice.
Keep in mind that the Affordable Care Act provision extending benefits for a year after chhange of status only applies if you drop down to PT20, not if you're dropping to just PT!
