[QUOTE="bigblueagain, post: 4187, member: 909"] whew this is a hard one, as I really didn't deal much with Cobra as an RN. Just know that most employer group cobra eligibility was 60 days to respond, then 90 days to get first payment in. (or may be the other way around in terms of time limits). I think at this point you might want to contact a student advocate/ombudsman if available at the university. I hope you noted each date and who you spoke with each time you called.......hard to remember to do but oh so important in these cases. The other thing I see here is that if you were paid thru August, that should not be considered under Cobra, as by federal law they have to allow you up to 18 months Cobra coverage, so in my opinion you have NOT missed the deadline!!! It has just started the eligibility period in my mind. I would call back to the carrier who you were under, ask them how your coverage was listed, as family group or Cobra and then let me know. I also want to make some calls to friends still in the business.BLUE [/QUOTE]
