If your employees have access to dental benefits, it needs to be reported on their T4 slips. To keep things compliant, enter the correct Dental Benefit Codes for everyone in Humi.
This article will walk you through the steps to get it done.
How to Add Federal Dental Benefits
- Head to Payroll.
- Click the Benefits & Deductions tab and select Benefits & Deductions - Federal Dental Benefit.
- You'll see a table with the benefits code numbers, descriptions and the number of employees assigned.
- Click on the benefits code to which you want to assign the employee(s), then click the Add/Remove Employee button.
- In the pop-up, select the employee(s) you want to assign to that code.
| Code | Description |
|---|---|
| Code 1 | No access to any dental care insurance, or coverage of dental services of any kind. |
| Code 2 | Access to any dental care insurance, or coverage of dental services of any kind for only the payee. |
| Code 3 | Access to any dental care insurance, or coverage of dental services of any kind for payee, spouse and dependents. |
| Code 4 | Access to any dental care insurance, or coverage of dental services of any kind for only the payee and their spouse. |
| Code 5 | Access to any dental care insurance, or coverage of dental services of any kind for only the payee and dependants. |
Important things to note:
- These codes are based on access, not actual usage of the benefit, as of December 31st of the tax year.
-
Employees terminated on or after November 2024 will automatically be assigned to Code 1 - No access.
For employees terminated before this date, the system does not retroactively backdate their status or change them to code 1.
Did you enter dental codes in 2023?
If you were with Humi in 2023, you would have entered these codes in the Year-End Adjustment tool. Any codes entered last year will be automatically assigned based on what was previously entered. To adjust these codes, follow the instructions above.
