text: Being entitled to COBRA is based upon federal law that all employees for whatever reason having left a company where they had health insurance may opt to continue that coverage throught the employed by paying the monthly cost to the employer.\n\nReceiving COBRA is no indication that you didn't commit wilfull misconduct for unemployment purposes. \n\nWhat is the employer alleging? Have you applied and been denied? You have a right to appeal.\n\nAlways file for unemployment whether you were fired or quit and explain the situation and always appeal it if you were denied. Receiving severance pay may help your claim.\n\nGood luck...
