July 16, 2018 (Session #7) Topic:
​What is the Medicare Cobra Trap and How can I avoid it?

Some of the questions that were asked in this Live Video:
- Is the COBRA situation the same if you get coverage thru a package from your employer if you are released when you are 65?
- So is there any reason to take the employer coverage under that situation? Does the coverage act like Medigap or what?
- I'm currently on sick leave from my place of employment, on COBRA and applying for SS Disability. I will be eligible for medicare in November. Can I just stop my COBRA?
- if you retire in March and have Medicare Part A & B and took company paid Cobra until September 30th. When do you need to sign up by for a supplement & part D?
