Usually a very short and limited amount of time, if any at all. Most layoffs occur on the last day of the month - consequently your health insurance also ceases on that same day.

Can your employer cancel your health insurance when you are on short term or long term disability because you did not make a payment on your insurance like is normally done through your paycheck?
Your employer's obligation to pay premiums normally stops when your paycheck does, that is, when your medical and personal leave is exhausted, and there is nothing left to deduct the premiums with. When that happens, the insurance company, not your employer, cancels your health insurance for lack of premiums. There are many ways to avoid this tragedy, including donation of leave by co-workers, if permitted, to keep the paychecks coming, or employer paying premiums for you until you are able to return to work. Good luck. JJ

If you retire and have cobra insurance from a previous employer and get a new job with insurance can you still keep your cobra insurance and which insurance is the primary insurance?
COBRA insurance is a guarantee that your health insurance is portable when you leave the job. It is now private insurance where you are paying for it. The cost is probably higher than the employer provided insurance so you would want to look at the 2 carefully and determine which would be most economical. It does not make sense to pay for two policies. If your new job pays for (some of) the insurance dump your COBRA.
Why do most people receive health insurance through their employers?
It is generally cheaper for people to negotiate health insurance prices through their employer as the combined company has better negotiating power than a single person.Employers keep more productive employees if they encourage health among their employees. As such some of the insurance may be subsidized by the workplace. Employers also have an incentive to make sure that employees spend some of their earnings on health maintenance.It is far less effort for an employee to get health insurance from their employers than on their own.
