A bit of an odd question, but I was under my ex wife's company's insurance. She alerted them of the divorce. I am under the impression I was supposed to receive the opportunity for COBRA benefits. But, their HR is saying that is not true, since I am no longer in their system.

However, that's the entire purpose of COBRA...

Am I correct in thinking they screwed up, or was I never supposed to be offered COBRA benefits?

UPDATE: They did indeed mess up and I should have been offered COBRA. The HR or broker (I think broker) never entered me in the system. It's still ongoing because of some other problems.
