An estranged spouse was dropped from employers coverage during open enrollment. Does that estranged spouse qualify for COBRA?

Did the spouse or husband notify the
administrator within 60 days of losing coverage? If not, there is no way for the them to know the domestic situation at home. Contact your health plan administrator directly.

I'm unsure. However, if someones coverage is dropped during open enrollment does that become a triggering event for COBRA?

It does because they are losing their health insurance due to the divorce or legal separation. When you first were enrolled in the plan did the group administrator send you a notice of your COBRA rights to the home address they had on file?

If that notice did not disclose in clear language the requirement to notify the plan administrator, they may still owe you COBRA.

However, a much better deal is to get your own private medical plan

also if you were dropped in anticipation of the divorce or legal separation, you'd qualify for COBRA.
