Q:  I was terminated on 07/31/2009 for so many reasons that were not true, like not keeping my dept together, being on the internet and some other stuff that was made up. I was offered to sign a waiver and they would not fight me for unemployment, I did not sign it. When I applied for unemployment, they told UE that I requested overtime, got paid for it but did not work. That is a straight out lie! They never mentioned anything about OT when I was terminated.  Yet, a couple of days later I received my cobra papers. Wouldn't stealing be deemed “GROSS MISCONDUCT? If I stole why would they offer me cobra? Does the law require them to offer you cobra even if it's for gross misconduct? Is stealing considered gross misconduct? By the way, that was not true.

A:  By law Cobra is normally not an option when Gross Misconduct is the cause, as far as this particular situation I don’t want to give false information.  We aren’t Cobra or have anything to do with Cobra; we are a company that offers Cobra information an Alternative health care plans.  I would recommend you speak with the Department of Labor they oversee the Cobra law and could give you the information you need.  The number to call is 866-444-3272
