Applies to these Dynamics 365 apps:
Human Resources

This article explains how to configure the types of personal contacts that you can use in benefits in Microsoft Dynamics 365 Human Resources. Personal contacts are the individuals who are covered under your plans (dependents) or who benefit from your plans (beneficiaries). Dependents are typically spouses or children. Beneficiaries can be spouses, children, trusts, or parents.

1. In the Benefits management workspace, under Setup, select Personal contact eligibility options.

2. Select New.

3. Specify values for the following fields:

   Field	Description
   Eligibility option	A unique eligibility option name or code to identify the eligibility option.
   Description	A brief description of the eligibility option.
   Contact eligibility code	The system code that best describes the personal eligibility option. Choose from: Relationship Student Overage dependent Over-aged disabled dependent
   Status	The status of the eligibility option. If you set the status for an eligibility option to inactive, you can't select that personal contact eligibility option for personal contacts.
   Relationship	Specifies the relationship between the personal contact and the employee. This field is only active if you set the contact eligibility code to Relationship.
   Age	Specifies the maximum age of an eligible personal contact for the benefit plan. This field is only active if you select a relationship. This age is compared with the calculated age of the personal contact. Calculated age is: (Coverage date – personal contact birth date / 365). This number is always an integer. For Overage dependent personal contact eligibility option, the age in this field is the minimum age. For example, if you set age to 18 on the Overage dependent option, the dependents who are marked as overage dependent and are 18 or older are covered by the eligibility option.

4. Select Save.
