Creating coverage option tables

Use this procedure to define coverage option tables. Coverage option tables list the different options that are available when an employee elects a certain type of benefit coverage.

For example, you might create a coverage option table that defines options for the individual, individual plus a spouse, individual plus dependent, and individual plus a domestic partner. When defined, a coverage option table can be used by more than one benefit, if needed. You can also copy an existing table.

Note: Spouses and domestic partners are also considered dependents.
  1. Select Benefits > Set Up > Coverage Options.
  2. Click Create, and specify this information:
    Coverage Option Table
    Specify a name for the table.
    Description

  3. The Active status check box is selected by default. Clear the check box to inactivate it.
  4. Click Save.
  5. On the Detail tab, click Create, and specify this information:
    Coverage Option Table

    Specify a numeric code for the coverage option.

    Description

    Specify a description of the coverage option. This is the description that the employee sees during enrollment. For example, if this option is one, and the employee selects to cover only themselves, you might specify "Individual only."

    Active

    The status is active by default. Clear the check box to inactivate it.

    Covered

    Select the relationship type for those covered by the coverage option. These are used to compare to the relationship of the dependent when determining if a dependent can be covered under the option selected on enrollment.

    See Creating dependent relationships.

  6. Select the Minimum and Maximum number of dependents that can be covered by this option. Spouses and domestic partners are also considered dependents. Leave blank if the limit for the number of dependents is not enforced.
  7. Click Save.
