Does an employer have to offer COBRA coverage to a qualified beneficiary if he/she becomes entitled to Medicare before the qualifying event?

YES. When a qualified beneficiary is entitled to Medicare prior to electing COBRA coverage, he/she still can elect to receive COBRA coverage. Because of the Medicare Secondary Payer Rules, the COBRA offer cannot be withheld because of Medicare entitlement.
