Printing Letters and Terminating Health Plans 

Prerequisites

You have collected COBRA events immediately prior to printing letters to ensure that the list of qualified beneficiaries is up-to-date.

Procedure

  1. Choose Human Resources ® Personnel Management ® Benefits ® COBRA ® Letter Generation.
  2. Specify the period during which the COBRA events for which you want to generate letters and forms occurred.
  3. Specify the employees (and thereby their qualified dependents) for whom you want to generate letters and forms.
  4. For the selection, you can use either personnel numbers or the criteria in the General benefits information area.

  5. Indicate whether you want to generate letters for new events only or all events in the selected period.
  6. Choose Take events from collection buffer if you want to generate letters for new events.

    Choose Repeat letter generation for events processed before to reprint the last form printed for a beneficiary.

  7. Choose .
  8. A list of qualified beneficiaries and their qualifying events is displayed.

    If you want to modify the list of dependents that are qualified beneficiaries, select the qualifying event and choose  Display event to go to a list where you can delete names.

    Only in cases of divorce or legal separation is it possible to remove dependent children from the list of beneficiaries. You can do this if you know that the children are continuing normal coverage under the employee’s health plan and are therefore unaffected by the qualifying event.

  9. To print letters, select the beneficiaries for whom you want to print letters and choose  Letters.
  10. If you use SAPscript forms, define your print parameters and choose  Print.
