Health insurance gap after a layoff, HR coordinator here

My employer coverage ended at the end of the month and I am trying to work out what to do as an HR coordinator. It has been a long 20 weeks. The COBRA notice arrived with a very high price. Is there help filling out the forms?

Thanks for writing this out. I went through something close to it 11 months ago, and it settled down once I kept a simple log of every call and form.
