This component enables you to identify employees who are COBRA-qualified beneficiaries and their qualified dependents. Depending on your customizing settings, you can collect individuals for some or all of the following COBRA qualifying events:

• Termination of employment
• Death of employee
• Reduction in work hours
• Entitlement to Medicare
• Divorce
• Legal separation
• Loss of dependent status
• Bankruptcy of employer

The collection of COBRA events is the first step in the COBRA administration process. You typically run the collection for all your employees in the background.
