COBRA Payments (SAP Library - Benefits Administration (PA-BN))

COBRA Payments

Use

Payments for COBRA coverage are not deductible in payroll and must be made by check, even for those beneficiaries who are in the employment of your organization after the qualifying event.

You can use the COBRA Payments function to perform the following tasks:

Record check payments as they are received
Identify overdue payments

Payments for COBRA coverage are stored on the COBRA Payments infotype (0270).

Note

There is no interface between the Benefits Administration component and SAP Financials. Due amounts and payments are therefore not automatically recorded in Accounts Receivable.

The due amounts displayed in this function do not include contributions for COBRA FSAs. Therefore, payments for COBRA health FSAs should not be recorded using this function.

Prerequisites

You have printed invoices and sent them to qualified beneficiaries who are participating in COBRA.
