Is my employer responsible for paying insurance for month of June if last day of work was June 1 in texas?

Question

My termination date was June 1, 2006, does my employer still have to pay my insurance which was part of my salary for the full month of June?

Answer 1

It depends on what your official pay period is. Most people are paid for a period that ends 5 to 10 days prior to their paycheck. In that case, you probably worked into your next pay period, which means you would be at least partially covered for the next month. It is important to know what your employer's policy manual states about this, though.

Answer 2

In Texas, if an employee works a single day in the month that s/he is terminated in, the company of employment is responsible for extending insurance coverage for that month. The reason behind this is monthly insurance premiums are usually paid a month in advance.

Answer 3

Usually, insurance lasts 30 days after the termination of employment, not the day of. Hope this helps.

Answer 4

I can't speak for Texas, but if it's anything like California, you might have coverage through the end of the month. My first employer in fact encouraged me to leave on the 1st so I'd get health coverage for that month.

(This was a small private employer, by the way.)

Answer 5

While I cannot give you legal advice, it is likely, that unless you have a written employment agreement stating otherwise, your employer is liable only though June 1st (sorry!). Research your State's COBRA laws to find out if your employer is obligated to keep you on his/her plan if you continue to pay premiums yourself for some period of time. Good luck on your job search!

Answer 6

Pending on when your employer pays his/her insurance coverage I would find it highly unlikely your coverage would continue anywhere past your last day of employment.

Answer 7

gotta be a texas parasite to ask

Answer 8

only if you paid into your insurance fund for that time.

Answer 9

yes
