Legal Question in Insurance Law in South Dakota
Health Insurance
The post office lost my health insurance premium.(Or should I say, I mailed it but it was never received.) I currently have a COBRA continuation of my previous employer's health insurance. I have the duplicate check, but COBRA SERV still cancelled my health insurance. They said that they don't have anything in place that would allow them to reinstate my coverage. Is there anything I can do?

Re: Health Insurance
The law of most states is that mailing is complete when deposited in the mailbox. Did you get a notice of late payment, as most insurance companies send? What happened when you got it? And did the check clear your bank? Depending on the answers, there might be something you could do.
