[California] So I got laid of 7/31/21; I elected last minute before deadline after initial election got lost. Sent employer the bill which they advised me to. Almost 11/01/21 and have not needed the insurance. Should I cancel?

So I got laid of 7/31/21; shortly after, I elected for Cal-Cobra via email BUT since Blueshield staff is working from home they supposedly did not get my election. I elected last minute via email and it went through. Per former employer HR, I sent the bills for August 2021 and September 2021. The employer was supposed to pay for August 2021 and September 2021 due to some act plus employer told me they would. The Blueshield site has no “Billing and Payment” at the top bar which their FAQ talks about. I don’t know if the my employer even paid for August 2021 and September 2021 yet. Do I even have to check this? Almost 11/01/21 and have not needed to use the insurance between August 2021 and October 31, 2021. Blueshield shows active 10/01/2021.
My new employer insurance will START 11/01/21.

I have 3 questions….

Do I even have to ask my employer if they paid for August 2021 and September 2021? Will I be asked for the payments for August 2021, September 2021, and October 2021 by Blueshield if my employer never even paid? I was thinking there was a 30-day grace period for me for October. Do I have to alert that I am canceling Cal-Cobra/Blueshield or can I just let them terminate me for non-payment?
