Q.- We just discovered that two employees were enrolled in our health coverage effective 1/1/2024 but they did not elect to be covered. Our HR admin sent their information to our carrier in error. We can retroactively remove the employees (3 months back), but do we have to offer them a COBRA election?

A.- No. Removing an employee from coverage due to an erroneous enrollment is not a COBRA qualifying event.
