[WSBAPT] Off Topic: Rescinding Retirement letter to keep Health Insurance

[Jane Bitz]

Hi All:

This question is off topic, but please chime in if you know or can recommend someone to call who may have the answer:

My client is 62 years old and had planned to fully retire by December 31, 2023. She wrote a letter to her employer with this information. In late October, she was diagnosed with an aggressive form of blood cancer: intervascular lymphoma. She is now in the hospital and starts chemotherapy tomorrow. She is now receiving Family Medical Leave benefits. The question is whether or not she should "rescind" her retirement decision in order to remain covered by her employer's health insurance. The HR people at work are saying that they don't know how to advise her.

Any help with this question would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Jane.
