We got that form for the latest employer, from 2009-2016. The other one was swallowed up 3 times, eventually by intel, who told us to pound sand.

Everyone I spoke to at the local and national Social Security offices said the same thing, that Inam eligible... Except for the lady at the national office who told me I was denied. She then lectured me about how I WAS covered but CHOSE to reject the coverage and didn't I know I had to maintain group coverage? **sigh** I did everything right and still am getting the shaft.

Not aware of any legal aid groups, but I'll see if I can find any. Thanks for the suggestion. A friend knows a lawyer. We are doing all we can to stay above water and can't add legal bills, so that will have to be a last resort.

I was going to write to my state rep, but he states on his website that his first priority is to repeal Obamacare. Even if I could hold my nose and do it anyway, it's not like there's a phone number ... Just fax all my personal information, including Social Security number and all application forms to an unknown fax number and maybe he'll get around to it. Not likely!
