If you are using the COBRA law for your insurance, be sure you sign up for the extension (beyond 18 months) at the same time that you sign up for COBRA, or you will be without insurance! Of course, if you know that you will have other insurance within the 18 months you do not need to worry.

Trust me - I found out the expensive way.
