What is the name of your state? Employed in Maine; Live in New Hampshire.
I am in the process of trying to terminate my current medical and dental health plans with my employer, due to the qualifying event of marriage. I seem to be in some sort of Catch-22 because my current benefits provider is telling me that I need to give them a marriage certificate and proof of new coverage in order to cancel. Otherwise, I am not allowed to cancel my coverage. Can my employer really force me to keep benefits that I no longer need or want?
