shrader Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 Great move by them. I'm surprised though that they have to do this in order to get him access to their health insurance though, since it happened as a part of one of their games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You typically need to be employed by an organization to stay on their benefits. After separation you can apply for COBRA but after 18 months (or 36 depending on the situation), you are on your own.

That is not a "work related injury" but something that occurs naturally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
