What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Arizona
. I will try to make this brief, after receiving unemployment from AZ for 4 months, I received a letter stating that i was not eligible because my employer stated that I was terminated for gross misconduct. When I was let go, my supervisor told me i was being let go because the store was overstaffed and if business picked up they would be happy to rehire me. I appealed the decision and won the appeal.
In May I was offered a chance to be reinstated in the Cobra Health insurance program. I accepted the offer, and paid my first two monthly payments. shortly after I started the Cobra program is when I stopped receiving my unemployment benifits due to the lies my employer reported to the state of AZ. As a consequence of not receiving my unemployment for 8 weeks, I was not able to pay my July insurance premium, which I had been paying directly to my former employer. 30 days passed, and my insurance was cancelled.
I called Cobra and asked if I could get reinstated. they said it was at the discretion of the employer. I called my former employeer and she said she had already sent in the cancellation notice and couldn't do anything about it.
So my question is this. Since I was not able to pay my insurance premium due to the fact my former employer filed a false statement resulting in my temporary loss of benefits, Do I have a case against my former employer?
