- Frequently Asked Question:An employee is currently enrolled in the group health plan with family coverage and pays premiums on a pre-tax basis under a Section 125 cafeteria plan. The employee is not going through open enrollment, but his spouse is in the midst of open enrollment at her employer. The family decides to switch to the spouse’s coverage at this time. Is this a qualifying event allowing the employee to drop family coverage midyear, or must the family have dual coverage from both employers until the employee can drop at his open enrollment next year?
