My former employer through which I receive COBRA benefits has declared Ch 11 Bankruptcy. I have a COBRA premium due. Do I have coverage as a result of the CH11? Should I forget the COBRA payment and get individual insurance?

Perplexed

Is the company terminating its health plan? If not, then COBRA will still need to be offered. I would recommend taking the COBRA plan since it should be less expensive than a comparable individual plan. If the company terminates its health plan down the road while you are on COBRA, then go the individual policy route.

COBRA is generally, but not always, less expensive than individual coverage. I've had a few clients over the years that had such bad claims experience that COBRA was more than individual coverage.
