Last December I switched jobs and elected not to take COBRA coverage from the last job for health insurance, since the new job would provide it after the probation period, and I didn't want to pay a ridiculous premium for a couple of months of coverage.
But my dad found out, had a complete panic attack, and gave me cash to pay for this "temporary" health insurance so we wouldn't squabble over the cost. I took the money, but they came back and said I wasn't eligible. Unfortunately I'd already told my dad I signed up.
Now I have a couple hundred bucks in cash sitting here that was supposed to have been spent. If I give it back to my dad, he'll flip his shit for lying to me... I feel guilty spending it... but I could also use the money.
What do I do?

Here's a really wild, off-the-wall thought.
Why not tell him the truth?. "I urned out that I'm not eligible for the bridging cover. But thanks for the offer. Here's your money back."

Save it for urgent care/the er if you need to go.
Group health insurance shouldn't need you to prove your medically insurable, did you wait to enroll?

You could give them to me, since I can't even find a wagecuck job and have a shitty life.

He's going to freak out on me if he finds out I lied to him and went without catastrophic coverage for months. I shouldn't have lied and said I was signed up when I wasn't, but I was busy with work and I wanted him off my back.

It turned out the amount of time I wanted to be insured for was too short for this "emergency" coverage he wanted me to take. This wasn't the company's insurance, which I'm now enrolled in.

Tell him you won money on a scratch card, or sneak it into his room in installments.

I don't live with him so that's not an option.

If you are doing nothing with them, can I have them? I seriously need money.

Sorry, I'm not sending the money to a stranger on the internet.
