For certain coverage options in health plans and levels of coverage in insurance plans, employees are required to provide documents that prove their insurability. The coverage allowed for a plan without provision of evidence of insurability (EOI), and the grace period for the provision of EOI are specified in Customizing, as is the grace period for the provision of EOI.

Provision of evidence is not a prerequisite for the process of enrollment, however, actual participation may not be possible without EOI, depending on Customizing settings. You therefore need to periodically monitor the status of EOI to detect any failure to provide EOI within the grace period for a plan.

The Evidence of Insurability Monitor enables you to do all of the following from within in a single tool:

• Register receipt of EOI
• Get an overview of employees for whom EOI is outstanding
• Stop participation or close pending enrollments for employees who have not provided evidence within a grace period

When an employee provides adequate EOI from an employee, you start the monitor in order to record this receipt. However, you also need to start the Evidence of Insurability Monitor regularly, in order to determine whether any employees have failed to provide evidence within the grace period for the plan.
