What Happens When Your Employer Doesn’t Send A COBRA Election Notice?
Someone told me that if I quit my job and my employer doesn’t give me a notice saying I can receive COBRA then they would have to pay for medical expenses that I have acquired since then. Is this true?
If you haven’t received your election notice, your first step should be to contact the employer that the health insurance is through to obtain your COBRA enrollment forms.
