Wondering if anyone, whose severance ended today, has received any information regarding the option to continue coverage for health benefits under COBRA??

Always keep in mind that anything with GM involvement is going to be handled with total ineptitude, so be your own advocate.
Login to Fidelity and go to NetBenefits and call them. They will talk you through the process. You have 60 days after severance ends to determine whether or not you want to opt in for COBRA.
When I called them, they gave me the following rates for SINGLE no dependents:
Medical - $332.95/month
Dental - $38.09/month
Vision - $8.16/month
18-Months Maximum
From what I was told from an insurance worker is that you have a 60 day grace period between the last day of insurance and the first day of your next policy to nix that gap.
not really a gap in coverage assuming you pay the cobra premiums when you get the bill. anything you that you might use your insurance should process normally but you would be hit with the full charges if you do not pay for the cobra coverage and you have things billed against the insurance.....it sort of works retroactively
Cobra is expensive, guess that's why they call it cobra, bunch of snakes taking ur money.
Contact benefits, they can add it. It will appear in your Fidelity account.
Would that mean a gap in coverage? Sounds like they dropped the ball by not sending the info.
none whatsoever. likely in the first few weeks of june i'm thinking
