Thread regarding Verizon Communications Inc. layoffs

For those laid off in December 2025, Cobra bills are coming!

You can call them to let them know you don't want to continue Cobra. Or you can just ignore the bills if you don't feel like wasting half an hour on the phone.

@ac COBRA can't be a permanent solution. You can only get it for 18 months total including your severance period. Folks need to look at their options. For some, extending COBRA through the 18 months may be cheaper than what they can find elsewhere.
If you ignore the bills, they will cancel coverage. No need to waste time on the phone cancelling. Been there, done that.

@OP PLEASE DO NOT listen to this advice, this website is getting ridiculous with bad or inaccurate info.

Cobra is literally designed as a temporary solution. Please DO shop around for a permanent solution, please do NOT simply ignore the bills and please do NOT forget call to cancel once you find a better solution

No one should ever simply just roll over to COBRA as a permanent solution for healthcare coverage
