Cobra. sm - puzzled

Posted: Jan 26, 2013

I am confused. I signed up for medical, dental, and vision insurance and the amounts are being deducted from my pay check. Why have I received a letter about Cobra and have to reply no later than 03/2013 in order to continue vision and dental. I am mixed up. I guess I am dense. It's from E Cobra. What is this? Thanks for you help. I know I could contact human resources, which I may on Monday, but thought I'd see if you can help me. Thanks in advance.

I get things from Cobra that are just - FLmt

junk mail. You wouldn't get anything from Cobra unless you were terminated from your job. I just ignore them.

Got an e-mail from the Benefits Team to disregard it. - sm

It was sent when AlphaStaff terminated us in their system, prompting eCobra to send the message.

I know I can get healthcare through the marketplace thingy, but I'm wondering if I just needed to take COBRA for a bit, how much would it cost. Please only respond ...
