How the ACA Eligibility Process Handles New Employees

When you onboard a person, either a new employee or rehiring one who is being treated as new, the ACA Eligibility Process assigns them the initial ACA values based on the ACA Eligibility Attributes table.

For employees with a hire or rehire date in the process date range, the process makes these changes to their assignments.

Note: For the purpose of clarity, the following table abbreviates the Yes, Weekly and Yes, Monthly values to Yes and the No, Weekly and No, Monthly values to No.
