Add Coverage End Rules

Before You Begin: Dayforce ends coverage based on the date that an employee becomes ineligible for an option for all coverage end rule types except Event Date, where the offset is based on the day before the employee becomes ineligible. If there is no offset, the employee's coverage ends on the day before the event date.

You can configure more than one coverage end rule in the Coverage End tab of Benefits Setup > Plans and Options.

To add a coverage end rule to a plan:

1. Go to Benefits Setup > Plans and Options.
2. In the left sidebar, click the plan to add the coverage end rule.
3. Click the Coverage End tab and then click Add.
4. Enter a name and, optionally, a description for the coverage end rule.
5. Select one of the following options in the first End Coverage drop-down list to determine the date from which the coverage end is calculated:
   • End of Calendar Year
   • End of Plan Year
   • Event Date
   • First Day of Month
   • Last Date of Pay Period
   • Last Day of Month
   • Last Day of Next Month
6. If you selected Event Date in the previous step, Dayforce shows the Offset fields. If required, select days or months in the drop-down list and enter a value in the field. This value defines how many days or months Dayforce offsets the coverage end date.
7. If you’re adding multiple rules, in the Eligibility section of the screen, click Add to set required eligibility qualifiers.
8. In the Add Qualifier dialog box, enter the name of a predefined qualifier in the Name field and click Search. Toggle between viewing only active qualifiers or all qualifiers using the Active/All switch. You should only add active qualifiers; if the qualifier that you want to add is inactive, you must make it active first by selecting the Active checkbox in the qualifier in Benefits Setup > Eligibility.
9. Select the checkboxes for one or more qualifiers.
10. Click Add. Dayforce closes the dialog box and lists all of the selected qualifiers in the qualifier list.
11. Click Save.
