COBRA Notification Report (BN170)

Run COBRA Notification Report (BN170) to print a list of COBRA participants who have not been notified of their right to extend coverage or to terminate an individual's rights to COBRA coverage if the individual has not responded to his or her notification letter.

Processing Effect

If you run the report to list COBRA participants who have not been notified of their rights, BN170 lists COBRA participants whose Participant Notified field in BN70.2 (Participant Dates) is blank.

If you run the report to terminate rights to COBRA coverage, the Benefits Administration application uses the Company Notified field in BN70.2 (Participant Dates) to determine if the individual has exceeded the maximum number of allowed notification days, which is defined in the Election field in BN00.2 (COBRA Parameters). If the difference between the Occurrence Date and Company Notified fields in BN70.1 (COBRA Participant) is greater than the maximum number of allowed notification days, the COBRA participant's Termination Date becomes the same date as the COBRA participant's occurrence date.

The report uses information on the system date the report is run.
