The ACA Eligibility process evaluates each employee to determine their eligibility and then updates their Affordable Care Act (ACA) assignment fields appropriately.
For further info, see How the ACA Eligibility Process Updates Assignment Data in the Help Center.
Run this process at least weekly, with a consecutive 1-week date range to cover all consecutive dates in the year. This ensures the primary assignment is correct as of the last day of the month. When running for the last day of the month, be sure your end date is the last day of the month.
To run this process:
You must ensure your organization is fully configured for ACA reporting. For complete info, see Configure Affordable Care Act Reporting in the Help Center.
If you select a legal employer, the process runs for all employees assigned to it.
If you leave it blank, it runs for all employees in all legal employers.
Start and End Date
Use the standard month, day, and year format. For example, 12/15/19. The end date must be after the start date.
If you know you have employees with back-dated assignment updates, run this process using the back dates as the date range.
