I got laid off last week. Now we have to change health insurances, which means starting over on a new deductible. And to qualify for unemployment, I have to look for a new job. Somehow I doubt anyone's going to want to hire some who will have to take off 4 or 5 months after being there.
Any bumpies out there with suggestions for navigating this mess?
Re: Got laid off at 17 weeks!
Sorry you are going through this right now. I have been laid off before and I couldn't imagine dealing with it while pregnant.
Are you married? The reason I ask is because is it possible that you can go on your DH's insurance and just live off o
That is chitty. I am really sorry that happened to you.
Depending on what your hubby makes you might be able to get medicaid. I know it sucks, but it is something.
Thanks for your sympathies.
I am married, and we will be switching to my husband's insurance. It's just frustrating to have to start from square one on a new deductible. We're paying off student loans right now, so we need my income to make
Well I help qualify people for medicaid at my current job now, what state do you live in? And for the most part, even if your husband makes over or even way over the FPL (federal poverty level) ,You have options for just the pregnancy to be covered. Us
First off, so sorry you are having to deal with this. I had the same thing happen at 13 weeks and at first it was tough but 11 weeks later we are doing great and I am still able to collect unemployment. I'm not sure where you are but in Tex
I'm in a similar boat. I was laid off at 8 weeks, at the end of January. I'm still collecting unemployment, and working a part time job. It's not fun, and I had the same doubts about being able to find a job while pregnant. I did finally have an interv
BFP #1 8/25/12 EDD 4/28/13 Blighted Ovum, D&C 9/20/12 at 8w6d. I'll always remember the first one. My baby Grace. BFP #2 12/26/12 EDD 9/4/13. DS born 9/7/13. My sweet rainbow.
I'm sorry about this. Can you apply for Cobra and keep your insurance? I would still just apply to unemployment. I don't think they follow you to make sure you applied for jobs and like you said, it is probably not going to be that easy to find one kno

I want to thank everyone for your helpful ideas and suggestions. I'm looking into the options recommended. I think partly I just needed to post for my own grieving process. Today has been rough emotionally, but I know my husband and I are going to make
