Dependent

A dependent is a qualified individual that your employee wants to add to his or her employee benefits. When you define a dependent in the system, you input the dependent's address and the relationship to the employee. You use the HR relationship code to describe the dependent's relationship. Also, you can add a dependent while you enroll employees into benefit plans or at a later date.

A dependent who is a spouse/domestic partner has the same coverage start and stop dates for benefits as you employee. If the dependent is not a spouse/domestic partner, the coverage start and stop dates are based on the dependent’s age and whether or not the dependent is a student or disabled.

Once you enter an employee's dependent, the Infor Benefits Administration application uses the employee dependent information to:

• Track dependent benefits

• Define COBRA participants

• Define beneficiaries for savings bonds.
