Grr! When I was available to receive benefits at my last job I chose a cancer policy. I was in open enrollment and decided to not take the service. It was pricy and I quit 3 weeks later.
I worked for a health & life insurance broker so most all things for employee benefits were handled in-house
I was told to fill out a form and send it to the carrier terminating coverage. Ok, did that. Now I got a letter the employer didn’t submit their letter if withdrawal for the policy and they are saying I’m on the hook for it. I quit before the policy was even in force. No money was paid to this!!
Why am I bound to this policy when I was still in open enrollment? Because my stupid employer didn’t do the one thing they had to.
I sent a letter to the cancer policy carrier with all documentation and told them to deal with my employer. It’s not my problem.
This last job is continuously haunting me because they were so bad to work for.
