Implement Allowed Dependent Relationships by Plan

Access the Allowed Dependent Relationships by Plan form.

To set up allowed dependent relationships by plan:

1. On Work With Allowed Dependent Relationships, complete the Plan ID field and then click Find:

2. Select the Plan ID and Add Option that you would like to setup for dependent relationships.

3. Specify the allowed dependent relationships for the plan by completing the Relation field.

   You can add values to the list of allowed relationships in UDC 08/RL. Review the entries in this table to ensure that the correct special handling codes exist. A value of *, allowing all relationships, is an allowed value, even though this character does not display in the UDC table. A UDC for dependent relationships must contain either a D or A in the Special Handling field. If the UDC contains a B in the Special Handling field, then the relationship is automatically excluded from being covered as a dependent.

4. When all relationships are specified for the plan, click OK.

   • Additional Option

     Enter a code that identifies any additional options available for a benefit plan that have been defined in the Plan Additional Options table (F083202).

     Note: Additional options must have the same provider, policy number, and enrollment and eligibility rules as the benefit plan to which they are associated.

   • Relation

     Enter a user defined code (system 08/type RL) that defines the relationship of the dependent or beneficiary to the employee.
