Q:I have been paying Cobra benefits to my former employer for 17 months, the last five months of 2008 and twelve months in 2009. This adds up to seventeen months. I just contacted them by email and they said that it will expire 01/01/10. This is not correct from my point of view COBRA benefits are for 18 months not 17. I emailed them back and told them that I have only had COBRA benefits for 17 months. So far they have not responded to my last email. Where do I go from here? Please respond.
A:If you feel that your rights are not being met you would need to contact the Department of Labor, they oversee the Cobra law and can let you know when your benefits should end and what rights you have.
