How the ACA Eligibility Process Handles Ongoing Employees

Once an employee is in Ongoing status, their Affordable Care Act (ACA) processing primarily consists of checking and maintaining their eligibility

The ACA Eligibility Process considers a person in Ongoing status if their measurement period's end date:

1. Is within the process's date range

2. Is 1 day before the ongoing measurement period start date

The process makes these changes to the assignments belonging to employees who have Ongoing status.
