Dropping spouse coverage- not COBRA event?

[Flyboyjohn]

Large employer dropping spouse coverage since not mandated under ACA.

Does not appear to be a COBRA qualifying event for the spouses losing coverage but doesn't smell right, anybody have a different view?

[Peter Gulia]

To the extent (if any) the group health plan uses a health insurance contract, consider whether a relevant State's insurance law or the contract might provide opportunities different than those of Federal-law COBRA.

It would not be a COBRA qualifying event but Peter's comment above is right on point.
