COBRA Letters (SAP Library - COBRA Administration)

COBRA Letters

Use

Once you have collected COBRA events to determine qualified beneficiaries, you can print a notification package that includes the following documents for each qualified beneficiary and their relevant dependents:

Notice of the right to coverage continuation under COBRA
Personalized COBRA election form
Enrollment form

Prerequisites

You have set up form templates for your organization in the Benefits Implementation Guide in the section COBRA ® Form Setup.

You have collected qualified beneficiaries.

Features

In addition to generating letters, the COBRA Letters function also automatically creates COBRA-Qualified Beneficiary records (infotype 0211) that are valid from the event date until the end of the COBRA period, and delimits employee Health Plan records (infotype 0167) in the background, according to the termination rule for the appropriate plan.

As a default, COBRA enrollment forms list all the plans within your organization that are currently designated as COBRA-relevant. However, you can set up your forms in Customizing to list only the plans in which an employee was enrolled prior to the COBRA-qualifying event, and which can be continued under COBRA.
