She should talk to someone other than her employer regarding what is a qualifying event. I think her employer might be wrong.

Yeah there have been two different situations brought up in this thread. Her being dropped from her sorta ex-husband's plan was a qualifying event. Her finding out she is expecting a child is not a qualifying event.

Being dropped from a plan is a qualifying event, but so too is getting divorced. Often times they go hand in hand, but in this case, finalizing the divorce might get her another special enrollment period. She needs to get more information from a competent HR employee.

ETA: Considering this requires her to actually do something of note AND she has to find a competent HR employee, she is probably fricked.
