The Canadian Dental Care Plan (CDCP) provides dental care coverage for uninsured Canadians with an annual household income of less than $90,000. This amount is subject to change in future years.
To support the implementation of CDCP and determine eligibility, employers are required to report the level of dental care coverage to which employees and payees are entitled for the tax year on T4 and T4A slips.
Payroll for North America delivers the Load Dental Care Eligibility (PYCTX905) program, a year-end process that assigns dental care access levels to identified individuals. After this process completes successfully, the dental care eligibility information becomes available for review or update on the Dental Care Eligibility Page.
When the Load Year-End Slip Data (CTX910LD) program runs, it will load employee (or payee) data and balances to the year-end slip records on the database, including the dental care access level codes. Specifically, the code will appear on:
(For employee) Box 45 on the T4 slip
Box 45 cannot be blank.
(For payee) Box 015 on the T4A slip
Box 015 cannot be blank if Box 016 contains a value.
Run the CTX910ER program to verify that the information that has been loaded to the slip records is correct. If the audit report identifies T4 slips with a blank Box 45, or T4A slips with a blank Box 015 when Box 016 has a value, update the information for corresponding individuals on the Dental Care Eligibility Page and re-run the CTX910LD program.
Use the Load Dental Care Eligibility page (RUNCTL_CTX905DP) to load dental care access level information for selected individuals.
