side in another province,
her OHS' P coverage will be

insured for upto 4 months.
Albert is still working but he's
not sue for how much longer. Un-
employment, illness, or financial
difficulties won't prevent him from
having OHSIP protection—he can
'apply for temporary premium

him, determined by his annual tax-
able income.

ance from the Province of Ontario.
