Creating the Period of COBRA Coverage

The coverage period dates for individuals who are eligible for COBRA coverage are automatically initialized based on transactions entered through the Employment Status Maintenance (ESMT) and the Dependent Profile (DPND) pages. However, the COBRA Attribute Maintenance (CAMT) page can be used to update existing coverage period dates and to enter coverage period dates for those individuals who have not been scheduled. You can also modify a COBRA recipient’s personal data through the COBRA Attribute Maintenance (CAMT) page.
