Q:  I was divorced in mid-January. My ex-spouse told me he took care of COBRA and continued paying the premium as I was in the middle of treatment at the time. In mid-April I received paperwork from the COBRA dept. telling me to fill it out and send in by June 2nd with the required premium. I have the money to pay the premium and when I got ready to send the paperwork in last week, I received a call informing me the Company had switched providers for handling their COBRA. I was called by someone in HR today asking me to send a check to the Company and they would see what they can do about my benefits. They also informed me they would just keep the premium already paid on my behalf and not apply it to my benefits. This sounds fishy to me and I am not sure it is legal. I do not want to send a check without enrollment forms to the Company my ex is employed with. What should I do?

A:  If you feel that your Cobra rights are not being met, you need to contact the Department of Labor at 866-444-3272.  What we do here, is offer Alternative plans to your Cobra coverage.  We are not Cobra, therefore I would not have any information in regards to your coverage, my suggestion would be to either talk with your husbands employer to verify what is going on or talk with the Department of Labor who oversees the Cobra law.
