Is there a grace period from the day you lose your job that you are still covered under your insurance policy or does it expire that day?

Usually you pay your health insurance in advance so you are "probably" paid up at least until the end of the month.

The only way to be 100% is to contact the health insurance provider and ask.

Depending on the size of the company and the State/Federal requirements you may be able to continue coverage by paying the premium yourself - but it is often prohibitively expensive.
