Employer stole my health care money

I’ve been working at this company for 10 years and they laid me off without severance or a notice. The company reassured me multiple times that once they moved I will be still working from home. Fast forward a couple of months, I got a call from my manager and I was told to come in. They told me they didn’t have enough work for me and I was told to sign some papers. I did so without reading them and a checkbox was pre checked saying that I voluntarily quit. However, they told me that they didn’t have enough work for me and said I was terminated. So I drove home crying my eyes out and I received a phone call saying they needed their computer equipment back. I told them that they would need to pick it up as I no longer work there.

I’ve been working at this company for 10 years and they laid me off without severance or a notice. The company reassured me multiple times that once they moved I will be still working from home. Fast forward a couple of months, I got a call from my manager and I was told to come in. They told me they didn’t have enough work for me and I was told to sign some papers. I did so without reading them and a checkbox was pre checked saying that I voluntarily quit. However, they told me that they didn’t have enough work for me and said I was terminated. So I drove home crying my eyes out and I received a phone call saying they needed their computer equipment back. I told them that they would need to pick it up as I no longer work there. The HR rep came to my condo and took the equipment and let me know that if I still needed health insurance that I needed to send him a check for $350 dollars to go on Cobra. So I did just that and drove to the company and gave him a check. In the meantime I signed up for medi-cal and unemployment. Well after 2 months of being laid off I get a bill from my health insurance saying that I owe them $350. I called my health insurance to find out more about the bill and they informed me they never received a payment and I should talk to my employer about getting reimbursed. What should I do?
