Q:I can not get information on getting cobra insurance from my past employer. I have called 3 times and have waited 33 days, and still I cannot get the billing information to pay for it. The phone number to the dept. of labor does not work.
A:If your previous employer has more than 20 employees and you were on the group health insurance before you left, you are eligible for COBRA continuation.Your employer is legally responsible for sending you the COBRA packet within 45 days from your last day of work or the last day of your group benefits.If your employer did not send you the election form for COBRA continuation they can be fined by the US Department of Labor (DOL).
