Waived Health Coverage Plans
The system needs to determine if an employee was offered health insurance coverage but declined it. On your waived or declined plan, to indicate that a plan is a non-participating plan, check the plan's Non-Participating Plan flag. This flag is a check box on the Plan Master Self Service tab and is not displayed if the Requires Dependents or Requires Beneficiaries options are selected on the General tab. Ensure that the Dependent/Beneficiary flag is not checked on your waive/decline plan. The Non-Participating Plan flag can be set to Yes on Plan Master Options form if you are using plan options instead of only plans.
For more details, see the "Adding a New Benefit plan" section in the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne Applications Benefits Implementation Guide.
The Non-Participating Plan flag influences how the plan is represented through Benefits self-service enrollment processes. With a certain system setup, a Non-Participating plan can be set up so that if an employee does not select a plan, they are automatically enrolled to a default plan. If you use self-service for benefits enrollment, and you are not sure whether this flag will be compatible with your setup, JD Edwards recommends that you do not set this flag until after Open Enrollment and before ACA year-end reporting.
In addition, if you currently do not use JD Edwards Employee Self Service, you will need to enable self service for the Non-Participating Plan Flag to display. To enable Employee Self Service, access Data Item USEESS in the Work with HRM Common Display Settings program (P05004) and change the setting from No to Yes.
