[image]Often a new employer cannot place a new employee and dependents on medical insurance for a given period of time ranging from 30 days or longer. In such cases,you may be eligible for Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA). Although you are no longer at the last employer, you may be eligible to receive continuation of the same coverage at a group rate, except that the premiums come out of your pocket. So, it still is a heavy monthly expense.You may be able to have your new employer "bridge" the cost under COBRA. In other words, pay your premium until you can be placed on their policy. To learn more about COBRA, visit www.cobrainsurance.com.

Valuing the Deal Valuing the deal is as simple as seeing how the new offer compares to the old. Add up the two columns and see how you're doing. The value is in the total amount from the first five sections. The section on "severance" is career insurance and shouldn't be factored into the package. While in some cases your salary may only have gone up say,10%, the value of your benefits may have soared by 50% to 100% or more. At the end of the day it's as much about purchasing power as it is about how much you get to keep.
