How can I verify that a terminated employee's data was sent to my COBRA provider?

If you have an active COBRA Carrier Feed, a terminated employee will be sent to your vendor if the following criteria are met:

• A termination date is present

• A qualified termination reason was used

• The employee was enrolled in COBRA eligible plans

• The COBRA eligible plans have been end dated

 

Below are the eligible termination reasons. If a reason is not listed, the employee is not mapped to send on the feed: 

Termination Reason	Event Name
Reduction in Force	Loss of Employee Coverage - Layoff
Termination for Cause	Loss of Employee Coverage - Termination
Deceased	Loss of Employee Coverage - Death
Resigned	Loss of Employee Coverage - Termination
Retired	Loss of Employee Coverage - Termination
Resigned without Notice	Loss of Employee Coverage - Termination
Other	Loss of Coverage - Other
Laid Off	Loss of Employee Coverage - Layoff
Transferred	Loss of Coverage - Other
Medicare Eligible	Loss of Dep Coverage - Medicare

The feed will also send if an employee or dependent loses benefits via a Qualifying Life Event. This typically happens if an employee is moving full-time to part-time, or a dependent overages.
