How the ACA Eligibility Process Migrates Employees from Initial to Ongoing Periods

The ACA Eligibility Process migrates new employees to Ongoing status if their initial measurement period's end date is within the process's date range.

• If the initial measurement end date is more than 1 day prior to the ongoing measurement period start month and day, the process assigns the employee ongoing dates that started in the prior year.

• If the initial measurement end date is 1 day prior the ongoing measurement period start month and day or later, the process assigns the employee the ongoing dates that started in the current calendar year.

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

Note: If you aren't using measurement dates, the employee goes from Initial to Ongoing status on their initial stability end date.
