Bad day...

Bad day...

I posted this in another thread but decided that I am so upset that I needed to start a new thread. I have a leave replacement teaching position and was told over a month ago that I am eligible for insurance. I filled out paperwork and I even just received my insurance card in the mail. Today, as I was leaving, after staying two extra hours to get work done, I checked my mailbox. I received a letter stating very briefly that it was a mistake and I am not eligible. I am so angry and upset that I was misinformed. They put all of this paperwork in my mailbox and told me that I was eligible! Besides that, I start my third job next week. There is no health insurance or a permanent teaching position in sight!

Re: Bad day...

im so sorry-i have no health insurance either-and i feel your pain on not being able to get any. But that is just mean-especially since they gave you the paperwork and everything!

Re: Bad day...

I'm sorry . . .I also know how you feel b/c I am a teacher and have been given a lot of crap regarding benefits.

I have been told about HealthyNY - it's like Cobra but much cheaper. It's supposedly the best insurance out there for people who are not 'eligible'.

But OMG!! How annoying that they wait until you get the card in the mail to tell you that it was all for nothing!!

Good Luck!

Re: Bad day...

awwwwww i'm so sorry have you tried to get family health plus? as long and you meet income guide lines they will usually give you free or very reasonable healthcare

Re: Bad day...

Re: Bad day...

I'm so sorry to hear your news- that *****! I dont know what type of teacher you are but I know some people out in Sachem SD and they said there are like 5 positions coming up in the Phys. Ed. Dept. Good Luck!!!

Re: Bad day...

Oh that is so unfair... I'm sorry.

Not sure where you live but FH is a kindergarden gym teacher in the West Hempstead schools and he said they're going to have a bunch of openings next year.

Re: Bad day...

aww i'm so sorry! what a terrible mistake on their part.

Re: Bad day...

sorry to hear this

Re: Bad day...

I hate hearing stories like this!!! I'm really sorry that you are dealing with this and I hope that we can all just have miracles happen come September... Good Luck!

Re: Bad day...

Thanks for the support, ladies. I guess I have to try applying for one of these insurance options I am hearing mentioned. I start my third job next week so I don't know if I will meet the income requirements. I don't make much, though! The teaching pay is good right now but that is only for another 2 months. By the way, thanks for the suggestions. I am an English teacher.

So sorry to hear that.....
