Reply to comment by LowArtichoke6440 in TIFU by lifting without insurance by casey12297

I'm out of a job and doing instacart right now while I finish up my cert. Health insurance is priority 1, but very difficult when you're living paycheck to paycheck

Not the best thing in the world but even part time at Starbucks offers very good benefits.

Do they offer for part time? I thought companies only offer insurance for full time employees? I'll have to look into that, thanks for the tip!

Most companies are full time but a good amount do offer benefits for part time. I could be remembering incorrectly but I am 90% sure when my sister worked she was part time and had benefits. I believe there was a longer wait period until the benefits began though. I would just look at a few entry level positions at larger companies to see offered benefits. Won’t be the most fulfilling work but it’ll help pay bills and help get you needed coverage in the meantime. Plus personally any work experience you can add to resumes is always good.

I used to work part time 20 hrs per week for a school district and they offered health insurance. It doesn’t have to be a fantastic plan, just something very basic to help ward off catastrophe.
