Insurance and Contract Work

Insurance is fantastic when it works! You always hear that it's always something you should get just incase something devistating happens. Well, I had my last contract in November and have been on the hunt ever since. One of the blessings of working a crew position on a show is that there is the Employment Benefits that are available to you if the next project isn't a go or some political maneuvering finds you without employment unexpentantly.

So, hoping to catch a second break with the credit card payments, I call and enquire about the Payment Protection insurance to pay my premiums until I'm a working man once again. Well, I never recieved the certificate for the coverage (mistake #1 on their part) but the challenging part I find is that in said certificate there is a clause that states they will not approve the claim if the insuree is in a contract type of employment.

So, I'm probably going to sell blood on the weekend...anyone up to go on a roadtrip?
