What allows users to restrict relationship types in dependent configurations?

The option that allows users to restrict relationship types in dependent configurations is the "Restrict to Relationship Field." This functionality is designed specifically to manage which types of relationships can be included when defining dependents for benefits. By utilizing this feature, organizations can ensure that only certain relationship types—such as spouse, child, or domestic partner—are allowed for selection when employees are enrolling dependents.

This capability is critical for compliance and ensuring that benefit configurations align with company policies and state regulations. It helps to prevent any complexities in dependent verification and ensures consistency in how benefits are applied.

While the other choices do relate to benefits administration, they do not directly address the restriction of relationship types in defining dependents. For instance, Dependent Electivity Settings are more focused on how choices are presented and managed, the Coverage Eligibility Framework outlines eligibility criteria for benefits but doesn’t directly restrict relationships, and Benefit Provider Guidelines generally provide rules from external providers without managing internal configurations.
