About BN171
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.
