Use Home Address for Service Area Eligibility

You can now use the employee’s home address instead of the primary or work address for eligibility profiles. For example, you want the benefit rates to be based on the home postal code or service area for a remote employee. A new profile option is added to allow service area and postal code eligibility profiles for such purposes.

Here are some considerations when you use home address for service area eligibility enhancement:

• Eligibility profiles use the employee’s primary address by default.
• The profile option is enabled at the site level only, it can’t be enabled at any other level.
• The profile option enables this feature for all eligibility profiles across modules.
• The profile option works anywhere the eligibility profiles are used such as variable rates or variable coverages.
• The profile option only works with eligibility profiles. You can’t use it elsewhere in the application.
• We don’t recommend you to change the profile option back and forth.

This enhancement allows you to offer benefits to your employees based on home address.
