You can also add an info blurb at the end of the article and note, "Once an employee has been added to the COBRA system through this method, you can later easily move the employee to a Qualified Beneficiary account after the employee experiences a Qualifying Event, such as termination, loss of eligibility, etc. Please see this article for information on this process.
