Guidance for FAQ regarding 834 Transaction and Maintenance Transaction
Program Area: Small Business Health Options Program (SHOP)
Question: Will there ever be a scenario when the Policy ID in REF*1L* will change for a family during the year? Or will a family maintain the original/same Policy ID throughout the year?
Answer: If an employer disenrolls an employee from a plan and the employee is later added back to the roster and enrolls in a new plan, then only the Policy ID will change. In all other cases when an employee change is reported on a maintenance transaction, the Policy ID will remain the same.
