Yes, you can be terminated and offered COBRA (Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act) coverage while on Long Term Disability (LTD). If your employer terminates your employment, you may lose your health insurance coverage, but COBRA allows you to continue that coverage for a limited time, typically up to 18 months, under certain conditions. It's important to review your specific employer's policies and your LTD plan for details on eligibility and coverage options.
