In this step, you can determine whether or not certain types of persons can be COBRA-qualified beneficiaries for certain types of COBRA qualifying events.
For each type of event, COBRA legislation prescribes which types of person can become qualified beneficiaries. This is the case for employees, spouses, children, and stepchildren. The types of events for which these types of person can be qualified beneficiaries are, therefore, predefined in the system. However, for other persons, such as domestic partners and their children, your company policy will determine which events qualify a person for COBRA coverage. You therefore need to specify in this step any such additional persons who can qualify.
The types of person who can be qualified beneficiaries are determined by the subtype of the Family/Related Persons infotype (0021).
Requirements
Standard settings
Certain potential COBRA-qualified beneficiaries are predefined in the system (as explained above).
For any additional types of person that you want to specify as potential qualified beneficiaries, the system only allows you to specify those events that make sense for the type of person that you have selected. Divorce, for example, is not relevant for a domestic partner.
