    We currently have dependents that are no longer eligible for benefits in an inactive status. This was done when we rolled out ESS open enrollment so non eligible dependents would not show. Now with the change in age to 26 and no longer student status needed, does anyone know what will happen if an employee adds a dependent during open enrollment through ESS that is aleady in Lawson on HR13 but in an inactive status?

    Thank you.

      I was thinking we might re-activate dependents using add-ins before Annual Enrollment. My only concern is that we might re-activate a deceased child - which would be ugly for the associate.

      I would think if the associate re-adds a duplicate dependent it will just show twice and the history will look strange. But I bet it would work... (Testing would probably just be the social security number - if you can enter two dependents with the same SS# then it would work.)

        We are letting the employees add a second (duplicate) dependent. There is no issue with Lawson, however some of our third party feeds have to be changed since they only rely on EE# and dependent number.
