Create Health Care Coverage Targets

Create Health Care Coverage Targets

  • Define employee relationship types.
  • Security:
    Set Up: Benefits
     in the Benefits functional area.
Define health care coverage targets to control who can enroll in health care plans. Example: Employee Only, Employee + Spouse, or Employee + 1 Child.
The
Derived Coverage Targets
 feature requires that each
Name
 (coverage target) must have a unique combination of the
Minimum Dependent Count
,
Maximum Dependent Count
, and
Valid Dependent Types
. If you configure 2 coverage targets to be functionally identical, Workday cannot select which one to use for the
Coverage
 field when you change benefit elections.
  1. Access the
    Maintain Health Care Coverage Targets
     task.
  2. As you complete the task, consider:
    Option Description
    Display Order
    Controls the order in which coverage targets display on the benefit enrollment form.
    Minimum Dependent Count
    Enter the minimum number of dependents that can be covered.
    Examples:
    • Employee Only
       can't enroll any dependents; Minimum Dependent Count = 0.
    • Employee + Spouse
       can enroll 1 dependent; Minimum Dependent Count = 1.
    • Employee + Family
       can enroll 1 - 9 dependents; Minimum Dependent Count = 1.
    Maximum Dependent Count
    Enter the maximum number of dependents that can be covered.
    Examples:
    • Employee Only
       can't enroll any dependents; Maximum Dependent Count = 0.
    • Employee + Spouse
       can enroll 1 dependent; Maximum Dependent Count = 1.
    • Employee + Family
       can enroll 1 - 9 dependents; Maximum Dependent Count = 9.
    Valid Dependent Types
    Identify the dependent types that are eligible for coverage. You can select only those relationships that have blank,
    Dependent
    , or
    Beneficiary
     in the
    Restrict to Relationship
     field on
    Maintain Related Person Relationships
     task.
    Example: Define
    Child
     and
    Spouse
     as
    Valid Dependent Types
     for a target group that includes
    Employee + Family
    .
    Requires Enrollment
    Select this check box if you want to require that an employee with this dependent type be enrolled in the health care plan.
    If you have more than one dependent type selected in the
    Valid Dependent Types
     field, Workday requires that an employee's dependent type match one of the listed types.
    HSA Coverage Target
    If employees are eligible for health savings accounts (HSAs), associate each health care coverage target with an HSA coverage type.
Use the:
  • Maintain Health Care Coverage Targets
     task to edit coverage targets.
  • Health Care Coverage Targets
     report to view a list of all coverage targets and detailed information for each.
