Q.- We are revising our health plan eligibility requirements and will no longer cover domestic partners. Do we have to offer a COBRA election to the covered domestic partners who will lose health coverage?

A.- No. Losing coverage because an employer changed its plan eligibility requirements and no longer covers domestic partners is not a COBRA qualifying event.
