The "COBRA Log" will display all benefits that are pending or processed for a specific benefit package. COBRA Changes are used in the administration of COBRA benefits either by the company or a third-party COBRA administrator. Changes that need to be transmitted to a Third Party Administrator can be exported in .csv or .txt formats through the HRIS Export Utility.

The 'COBRA Log' will provide a drop-down menu to specify which package to review:

The page will present the following columns:

• Package - Clicking the link for the name of the package will let you view the details of the COBRA log.
• Benefit - The type of benefit.
• Carrier - The carrier associated with the benefit.
• Export Date - The date this data is included in an export.  If the date is 'Pending', the data has not been exported yet. 
• Employees in Export - The number of employees in the benefit change log.

COBRA Log Details

The COBRA Log Details will list specific export data including the current Export Reason. The Export Reason can be edited in the event an Employee is forced into the Change Log. Employees forced into the Change Log are Employees whose changes were not initially processed correctly.
