My son was terminated at his job on March 25,2004. He was notified that he could opt for state continuation of insurance at his own exspense on April 5,2004. He did not recieve the form until April 22,2004 in which he filled out and returned to his former employer. Now the employer wants premiums for April and May, even though they canceled his insurance on April 01, 2004.When asked why he had to pay for April when he had no coverage they said there can not be a lapse in it. Does this sound right? Were they not suppose to cancel it before he chose to continue or not? I do not understand why he has to pay for something he did not recieve. Any advice wil be greatly appreciated. Thank you Karen
