Creditable & Non-Creditable Waiver Reasons

During Open Enrollment, your employees may choose to waive coverage. If they do, they must select a waiver reason. Some of these reasons are creditable, and some are not. Non-creditable waiver reasons will count against your minimum participation. If your group falls below minimum participation, you must work with Customer Success to determine your path forward.
