The pages in this section provide general information on what happens to insurance, retirement funds, accrued leave, and other benefits when your job ends.

Insurance Coverage

If you're laid off or furloughed, your health, dental, life, and disability insurance coverage will end within a month of your last day. You can choose to continue your health and dental coverage using COBRA.
