For those of you who had a period of time before beginning your new job, what did you do for benefits? I know about COBRA but found the government has a special enrollment period- has anyone used?

What's cobra? Sounds exotic.

You have 90 days to enroll in cobra and it’s retroactive to when you became eligible, so if you’re only going to be without insurance for 90 days, don’t sign up unless you end up needing it

I just did emergency/short term insurance then cancelled it as soon as my new benefits kicked in.

Hi Fishes,
I have overall experience of 5yrs. Out of which 3years for US healthcare and 2 years for US mortgage. US mortgage domain has now become thinner as industry almost sunk since most of the companies has laid off employees, I was also the victim. Fortunately, got an opportunity to work Optum but heard rumours about the lay-off in our entire process which is creating a frustration and negativity all around. Please refer me if there's any relevant opening in backhend operations. Thanks!
