Hello. I am qualified for the COBRA subsidy under the ARPA. I was terminated due to covid and do not qualify for medicare. However, I’m still paying my COBRA premiums because no one else is.
My question is: who is supposed to be paying these in real-time? My former employer? The COBRA vendor? Am I legally obligated to pay my premiums for the months of April until September and then wait for reimbursement? Because that’s exactly what I’m doing. I just feel like that cannot be right.
I ask because I was sent a letter from the COBRA vendor saying I failed to pay for July (I thought my former employer was taking over those payments) that my health insurance would be terminated. I thought the whole point of this was that we aren’t doing that?
Thank you in advance for any help!
