What should I do if I made an April payment but qualify for the 100% FREE COBRA?
Super Saver payments will automatically be refunded within 45-90 days of April 1. If you enroll and qualify for free COBRA, your COBRA payments will be automatically refunded within 60 days from the date payment was made. Self-payments will be refunded within 45-90 days of completing the COBRA enrollment forms. You do NOT need to call to start the refund process—it will happen automatically.
