Subject: Re: Former Employer's Notification Obligations

Comments:
: My former employer changed my health coverage plan which caused my COBRA premium to increase. I pay my premiums automatically to the insurance company but my last automatic premium payment did not cover the new premium and my medical services have been denied. I received no notification of any plan changes. : Months ago I requested information from my former employer if they were even considering plan changes to notify me of anything, even tentative, so I can plan my budget and care needs. I received no response. In the past, while I was employed by them I received an election notice prior to any plan changes and had to select and sign a form indicating my choice. Now, nothing! : What are the requirements for my former employer to notify me of any plan changes?
