My wife and I have separated. We are currently living apart from each other. She is employed full-time. Recently, she cancelled my health insurance that she receives through her employer. I had heard that this is illegal. In other words, I was told that a spouse cannot remove the other spouse from his or her health insurance until there is a divorce. However, when I called the insurance company, I was told that she had removed me during "open enrollment" and that she is legally allowed to do so during that time. I am disabled and would suffer greatly if I lose my health coverage. Is what she did legal?
--------------------
It is legal. You should consult your lawyer to make sure that she was supposed to keep the coverage for you under the agreement. If she was, then it was not legal.
