Laid off, question about health care expenses?

[basie9]

I work in VT and I just got laid off my job, I've been working there just under a year.  My employer paid for my last month of health/dental insurance, but since I only worked one week in the month before my layoff, they are making me pay for the difference for the other 3 weeks of healthcare.  Even though I had no choice of finding cheaper insurance or anything.  Can they do that?  They are deducting it from my last paycheck (about $300). Someone told me that they couldn't because I did work for them for part of the month and they already paid for it.  That is different than COBRA, since I was working part of the time.

IF they cannot do that, I need to offer them some sort of proof or web reference to get my money back... I've searched the web and cannot find what I'm looking for, but I may not be searching for the right thing. Anyone know the answer??  Please I'm desperate.  Unemployment is only about half what I was earning and there are no jobs in the area.  I need all the money I can get!  Please HELP!

most will cover until the end of the month, but that is the company's choice to do so or not.  so yes, you may be responsible for the balance.  i wish i could give you better news.

They can deduct the full month's cost - your cost - if you have coverage for that month.   But it's YOUR cost they can deduct.

They don't get to choose when the policy coverage ends for you, it was decided when they took the policy out in the first place.
