What is the name of your state? Texas
I was released on June 26, 2002 after a little more than a year with the company. I was enrolled in a PPO, paying the deductible pre-tax. The deductibles were taken from each bi-weekly paycheck, including my last paycheck that was dated June 31, 2002.
On July 3, I called the insurance company to verify that coverage was still in effect - I was told by the rep that it was. On July 5, I refilled my normal prescriptions. I just received a letter of denial on my reimbursement claim by the insurance company stating that the insurance received notification by my former employer that coverage terminated on June 31, 2002.
I was under the impression that Federal law required 30 days minimum contuing coverage after the last date of employment in order for the required COBRA paperwork to be processed. I have been told this by numerous people but I cannot find any information on the web. My former employer is not cooperating and I am being forced to contact the National office, but I am looking for legal ammunition before I take this on.
Thx for your time
