<prompt> Human: I elected to continue my health insurance coverage as cobra coverage with my old company since I wont be covered at the new company for 90 days. The old company deposited my check for over 300 dollars just coverage for April. Neither my benefits enrollment page nor the insurer website shows that I was covered for the month I paid for. I contacted HR about 3 or 4 times and spoke to someone each time demanding a receipt or proof that I was insured, but have not gotten anything. Did my old company steal this money from me? What can I do? Note: I live in a new city and cant just stroll in there on my lunch break  <response>: Same happened to me years ago. A former employer used a Third Party Administrator company for anyone on COBRA. The Third Party Administrator that collected our COBRA payments kept defaulting on their payments to the insurance company. It came down to the payment Third Party Administrator trying to collect from me and hope they would not get caught not paying the insurance company. We caught them at this game more than once.
