What is the name of your state? Utah
I got a job with Convergys, Corp. while I was pregnant with my daughter. I took the job so I could get health benefits as my husbands job did not provide them. My daughter wasn't due until mid-April, but I was involved in two accidents during my pregnancy, the second of which caused me to start going into early labor. Because of this issue I ended up going on maternity leave in mid-March. I had my daughter on April 1st. I didn't sign or put through any of the papers for my maternity leave, my supervisor did because at the time I wasn't on bed rest, but I was supposed to avoid being active as much as possible. He told me it was all taken care of. Well, two weeks after having my daughter I was informed that my health benefits were cut off on March 31st so none of my pregnancy or birth was covered.
Do they have to give me notice of when the benefits would end before they ended? Is there anything I can do to make them cover it? I've already called HR, the insurance company, and physically went in and everyone says there's nothing they can do for me. Finally, is there a statute of limitations on this - as this took place two years ago? (I had never thought of taking legal action until recently. I'm not sure why it took so long for it to occur to me.)
