R089205 - (USA) Dependent Coming of Age

The Dependent Coming of Age report lists dependents that have reached the age when they are no longer eligible for regular benefits coverage. This age is determined by the criteria that you set up in the processing options.

This report includes data from these tables:

  • Participant file (F08901).

  • Dep/Ben to Employee Plan X-Reference (F08336).

  • Employee Master Information (F060116).

  • Address Book - Contact Phone Numbers (F0115).

You must run this program in final mode to create a Dependent Coming of Age qualified event. Simply recording the dependent's birth date in the beneficiary table does not automatically trigger a qualified event when the dependent comes of age. Because this program does not read the event rules, you do not need to set up an event rule for Dependent Coming of Age.

Though the report uses processing options rather than event rules, you must still set up an event constant for DC - Dependent Child in order to define coverage periods and verify that the Send COBRA Letter To Employee option is turned off.

When you run this program, you must also add data selection for Beneficiary Relationship to Employee (BENA) that is equal to the values that you set up in UDC 08/RL for Child or Foster or Step Child. (Generally, these values are C for Child and F for Foster or Step Child). This data selection excludes young spouses that are within the age range of dependent children from being included in the processing.
