COBRA questions

Background: I quit the corporate life earlier this month to pursue what I actually want to do with my life. My health insurance, however, ends on the 30th and I still haven’t received COBRA info in the mail. At a previous position I received a letter within 10 days. HR has confirmed that I resigned with a letter they sent to my personal email. I did research and found that I have 60 days after resigning to enroll, and I know that even if I don’t sign up immediately on May 1 it doesn’t technically count as a lapse in coverage. Questions: 1) What should I do with any health expenses (mostly prescriptions) if I don’t receive the letter before May? 2) When should I expect/have expected to receive COBRA info? 3) If HR is holding out on me, does anyone have any recs for the next steps?
