We are not COBRA. For specific contract details about your current company policy, contact your health plan administrator.

Marcia, I can't tell you why it works this way, but it does. It would have been nice if the HR departments had been more helpful and explained things better. With COBRA, your coverage is retroactive to when you lose coverage under the company plan. It is the same insurance you had while your husband worked. Knowing we were going on COBRA, we just used our insurance card we had. No one ever asked us any questions.
You did received the cobra notification within the required timeframe, so the best you can do is sign it and mail it back. We maied ours registered mail so we had proof. That would be up to you. Be sure to make all your payments on time or they can drop you. Good Luck.
