If you enter into a labor dispute, your county benefits—health care, FSA, life insurance, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance and long-term disability (LTD) insurance—will end on the last day of the last month during which you work. If your pay is suspended directly or indirectly as the result of a strike, lockout or other labor dispute, you may be able to continue your health care coverage temporarily for up to 18 months by paying for it through COBRA. (See "Continuing Coverage Under COBRA" in Health Care.) You may also continue your life, AD&D and LTD insurance coverage temporarily by paying the full cost for up to six months.

When your COBRA coverage ends, you may be able to continue health care coverage if you convert from county group coverage to an individual plan. Check with your plans for details. (See Contact Information.)
