Time Running Out on Second Chance to Apply for COBRA (DEADLINE: June 12)!

If you lost your job in September, 2008 or in 2009 and you didn’t sign up for COBRA, you should have received notification by April 14 that you are eligible for a second chance. If you qualify and you didn’t receive notification, contact your former employer. Don’t assume that you aren’t eligible (See "Second Chance for Cobra for People Who Have Lost Their Jobs below"). Even if you are denied after you apply, you can appeal the decision by going to www.dol.gov/cobra. But you need to ACT NOW. You have only 60 days from April 14 to take advantage of this second chance (that is, until June 12).
