Date Codes for a Specified Day of the Month That Occurs After a Particular Date

Use this method to set up a date code when you want enrollment to occur on a specified day of the month that occurs after a particular date.

For example, suppose that you want enrollment always to occur on the 15th of the month, and it must occur after an employee's date of hire. In that case, you would enter 15 as the day of the month, and you would use the hire date as the date to follow. Then, when an employee begins work on May 30, eligibility for enrollment in the benefit plan begins on June 15 (the first 15th after the employee's hire date).

Here is another example. Suppose that you want enrollment to occur on the 1st of the month, and it must occur after an employee passes eligibility. You would enter 1 in the Date of Month field and an asterisk (*) as the date to follow. When an employee passes eligibility on June 1, enrollment in the plan occurs on June 1. If the employee passes eligibility on June 2, enrollment in the plan occurs on July 1.
