What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? california
I've been recieving health insurance through my work. Money has been taken out of each paycheck to pay for it and I recieved a membership card. According to the insurance co. my coverage began on 1-1-08 and ended on 3-31-09. I was terminated on 4-8-09. My final paycheck was a handwritten check not a normal company payroll check so no insurance payment was deducted, this was not my idea. After my termination my former employer called the insurance carrier and told them that as of 3-31-09 I was no longer to be covered by the company plan. I was never notified of the cancellation.
Is this legal? Can an employer deny an employee the chance at continued coverage by issuing a handwritten paycheck(with zero deductions) rather than following the normal payroll procedure? Is an employer required by law to notify an employee(past or current) that they will or have cancelled that employees medical insurance?
Any advice is appreciated.What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)?
