Finally got dental insurance for the first time in 10 years. Policy activated February 1, 2020. Was furloughed (not laid off) due to Covid March 12 and my policy terminated without ANY notification on March 20th. Ive returned to same employer as I was never laid off in mid June. No option to reinstate my policy given. I want my $26+ deducted from my paycheck back since I never had the chance to even think about taking advantage of my whole 1.5 month policy. This entire situation is PETTY so then so shall I be.
