BN171 - COBRA Letter Print
**Form Purpose
Run COBRA Letter Print (BN171) to create letters to notify new COBRA
participants of their right to extend benefit coverage or to create letters
for COBRA participants with late payments. You can create letters, mailing
labels, both letters and mailing labels, or labels and a letter form.
**Processing Effect
If you run the report to create notification letters, BN171 creates initial
notification letters for COBRA participants whose Participant Notified field
in BN70.2 (Participant Dates) is blank. BN171 updates the field with the date
of the letter.
If you run the report to create letters for COBRA participants with late
payments, BN171 uses the delinquent premium letter selected in BN00.2 (COBRA
Parameters). When the report creates delinquent premium letters, the Letter
Date field updates to the Delinquent Premium field in BN70.2 (Participant
Dates).
**More Information
To see participants who have payment due dates that exceed the grace period,
run BN175 (COBRA/Retiree Outstanding Invoices). If premiums are not received
in response, you can run BN175 to cancel coverage.
