A dependent is a person who is eligible for coverage under the benefits you elect based on the relationship type configured in Dayforce. The Dependent Information screen shows based on how your administrator configured plan options for enrollment. In the Dependent Information screen, you can view, add, edit, and remove dependents based on the access authorization set for your role:
- To add new dependents to the enrollment, click Add Dependent. If the primary address isn't recorded for the dependent, the employee’s address shows as the dependent’s primary address. You can edit the primary address if needed.
Note that employees in the United States must enter the Social Security Number field when adding a dependent whose address is in the United States and has exceeded the age limit set. - To edit the dependent details, click Edit next to the dependent name. If you want to remove dependents from the enrollment, in the Edit Dependent screen, click Remove. The Removed tag shows next to the dependents that you remove. If you want to reinstate the dependent, click the Undo Remove button. Dayforce removes the Removed tag and shows the Edit button next to the dependent.
You can view the removed dependent or beneficiary information in the following enrollment screens:
- Dependent Information
- Impacted Dependents (only for Mobile and Web - Life Event Enrollment)
- Beneficiary Information
Added, modified, or removed dependent information is shown in the Dependent Changes section in the following enrollment screens:
- Review
- Next Steps
In the Dependent Information screen, if you don't enter all of the required details for the dependent, when you click Continue, Dayforce shows an error next to the dependent’s name. You must fix the errors to proceed.
After you submit the enrollment, Dayforce updates the dependent information in the employee profile even if the workflow assigned to the enrollment still needs to be completed.
