from their health insurance His company just dropped him from their insurance coverage, and never told him. They never sent him a letter regarding COBRA coverage. Is this legal? BTW, we live in FL.

We just got a letter from his health insurance company today stating he is not longer covered. My husband is out of work on Worker's comp.

Please help.

When out on "out on workers' comp" temporarily, the employee must pay to continue the employer group medical insurance - the company isn't going to pay if he's not working.

If he is permanently "out on workers' comp", it would naturally terminate along with his employement status.

you'd have to ask an attorney about "legal" and "legal" may have to be decided in court, but usually insurance companies (if it is a big one) do only what they can get away with legally.

cobra will continue your insurance, if you pay it, for a number of months (i forget how many) to allow your husband to be covered while he looks for another job.

I hate to say it but it sound to me like it could be legal
it could also depend on the length of your husband's stay away from work

and its true that they will do what they could get away with.
