<prompt> Human: Im changing companies at the end of the month. Im covered by my wifes medical insurance, so Im covered for medical, but I just realized that I am not covered for life insurance. I will only be unemployed over the weekend. I quit on Friday, and start my new job on Monday.Are there life insurance policies for this type of situation? I dont want to have a health screening or anything, as this would really only be for an accident. Any recommendations? Should I just not do any crazy things like skydiving, bungie jumping, etc. :-  <response>: Are you in a state that includes life insurance in Cobra? It is not covered under the Federal law, but some states include it. If so, then you could indicate you intend to elect coverage. If you die over the weekend, your estate can pay the premium and you will have been covered. If you do not die, you can just not pay the premium and the policy will lapse as of your last day of work.
