Can I take freelance or contract jobs without losing my COBRA health insurance?

freelance jobs
I got laid off my full time job but kept my group insurance plan through COBRA for the next 18 months. If I take a freelance or contract job, can I still remain on my COBRA health insurance plan or would I need to get a new personal plan if I did freelance work?

I am getting surgery in a month and want to make absolutely sure I don’t lose my insurance if I take this freelance job I got offered.

    You can keep the cobra as long as the place you’re working doesn’t have an insurance plan of their own.

    I worked contract jobs through Manpower, they offered insurance as a choice to their temps.

    Yes, you can keep your Cobra, but you may lose the subsidy, if you’re even getting it now.
