COBRA participants

A COBRA participant loses regular benefits after experiencing an event that is qualified to a COBRA occurrence.

These are the examples of COBRA participants:
  • An employee who is terminated
  • An employee whose work hours is reduced
  • A spouse whose coverage is lost due to divorce
  • A dependent whose age is out of benefit eligibility

You can create a COBRA participant in several ways:

  • Create manually
  • Create from an employee's dependent

    For example, a spouse who is getting a divorce or a dependent losing a coverage due to age.

  • Create from the Termination action for an employee,

    The COBRA participant is created along with the occurrence and enrollment records.

  • Creating from the Infor Spreadsheet Designer (ISD) to upload COBRA participant data from a spreadsheet

    This is required when there is no existing employee record for a COBRA participant.
