  4. Specify the termination reason that you want to be attributed to the new COBRA-Qualified Beneficiary records (infotype 0211) that are created when you stop COBRA participation.

Result

If you stop participation, the current COBRA-Qualified Beneficiary record (infotype 02112) for participation in COBRA is delimited to the day before the processing date and a new record is created from the processing date, attributed with the termination reason that you specified.
