At times, carriers will request evidence of insurability (EOI) for voluntary benefits when the plan participant chooses a coverage amount that is over the guaranteed issue amount (the amount that is pre-approved by the carrier). The carrier will also require EOI if the plan participant is a late entrant. This article covers how to approve or deny the total requested amount in Maxwell once you hear back from the carrier on their EOI decision.

- Head to the enrolled benefit on the employee's profile and click Process EOI Request >>
- Check the box to approve or deny coverage for the employee.
- If you approve the employee and there’s dependent coverage pending that you’re still waiting for a decision on, you can select “Process at a later date” for the dependent. This will keep the dependent coverage pending.
- If you’re approving coverage, add an effective date.
- If you want to send an email to the employee notifying them that this has been processed, check the box “Notify employee of processed request.”
- Head to the “Benefits” tab and notice that approved amounts will display (as of the new effective date that you entered) on a new enrollment for the same voluntary plan.
