Well, the university has done it again. husband was a grad student. We had grad student ins with an upgrade we paid for. husband graduated in May. Coverage was paid through august. never could get a date that coverage ended and never could get COBRA info.
Now Univ is saying that we missed the cobra date and get get it. They did not send out info to us on cobra. I called many times, so did husband. We also went to the ins office at the univ and got a "brochure" that did not mention cobra in any way at all.
We missed the date by 10 days. but we NEVER were notified of the date. The company that carries the policy admitted that the Univ did NOT send out brochures about continuing coverage to all grad seniors and grad students.
We have not changed addresses or any other info. not even email. There was no info on husband's campus email (active for 1 year after grad).
What exactly do I need to do to make them extend cobra? with-o a group policy from an employer I cannot get health ins. Too many health problems and surgeries.
thanks
Susie
