Q: I am currently employed but my company might be closing. If I stay with the company until they have to close it, can I get cobra benefits?

A:  If an employer closes their doors and no longer has a group health insurance policy for their employees, COBRA continuation would not be an option for you.  You may want to contact the employer to see if they have a severance package that you may be able to take advantage of. The past employer should be able to provide you with detailed information regarding your coverage.
