Benefits Enrollment and Change Software
Kissflow opens the enrollment window, captures plan selection, checks eligibility with hours aggregated across an employee's appointments for ACA purposes, routes the enrollment or change for HR approval, hands the confirmed data to your carrier without manual re-entry, and tracks qualifying life event changes against their own short deadline, so an adjunct crossing the eligibility threshold mid-semester doesn't fall through the calendar's gap.
Trusted by energy operators worldwide
Open enrollment closes on a date. An adjunct's hours crossing the ACA threshold does not wait for it.
Open enrollment on a college campus runs on a calendar everyone knows, a window, a plan selection form, an eligibility check, approval, and a handoff to the insurance carrier. What the calendar doesn't handle is the part unique to higher ed staffing: an adjunct teaching sections across two departments, or a per-course instructor picking up an unexpected overload, can cross the ACA's measured-hours threshold for benefits eligibility mid-semester, outside the enrollment window entirely, and nobody's watching for it because eligibility is normally assumed to be a hiring-date question, not a running total across appointments.
Outside open enrollment, the rest of the year runs on qualifying life events, a marriage, a birth, a dependent losing other coverage, each with its own short enrollment window and its own documentation requirement, submitted as a one-off request that HR has to catch, verify, and process before the window closes.
Kissflow rebuilds this as one governed process: the enrollment window with plan selection, an eligibility check that includes aggregated hours across appointments for ACA purposes, an approval step, a provider handoff to the carrier, and a change-request path for qualifying life events with its own documentation and deadline tracking. Your benefits carrier and payroll system stay the system of record for coverage; Kissflow is where eligibility gets checked and the request gets approved before either sees it.
What breaks when benefits eligibility isn't tracked across appointments
ACA hours aren't aggregated automatically
An adjunct's combined teaching load across departments isn't totaled anywhere for eligibility purposes.
Qualifying life events miss their window
A dependent-add request submitted a week late has nowhere to go but a manual exception.
Provider handoff happens manually
Approved enrollment or change data gets re-entered into the carrier portal by hand.
No visibility into eligibility risk
HR can't see who's approaching the ACA threshold before it becomes a compliance gap.
Six modules. Built to catch eligibility across every appointment, not just one.
Every module ships with default forms, routing, and dashboards. Configure each one to your benefits plans and eligibility rules in the visual builder.
Enrollment window
Opens and closes the enrollment period on a fixed calendar, with plan options visible only to employees confirmed eligible.
Plan selection
Captures the employee's plan choice within the open window and locks it to that election once submitted.
Eligibility check
Verifies eligibility, including hours aggregated across multiple appointments for ACA purposes, so a mid-semester crossing isn't missed.
Approval
Routes the enrollment or change for HR sign-off before it's finalized, with the eligibility basis attached.
Provider handoff
Sends approved enrollment or change data straight to the carrier without manual re-entry or a second data-entry pass.
Change requests
Tracks qualifying life event changes against their own short enrollment window and documentation requirement.
From request to system of record in four steps
Submit
An open enrollment window opens, or a qualifying life event — marriage, birth, loss of other coverage — is reported.
Review
Hours and appointment status are checked for eligibility, including aggregation across an employee's appointments for ACA purposes.
Approve
HR approves the enrollment or change once eligibility and documentation are confirmed.
Record
Approved enrollment data moves to the carrier without manual re-entry, and qualifying life event changes are tracked against their own deadline.
What changes when benefits enrollment and eligibility run on Kissflow
| Process | Before Kissflow | On Kissflow |
|---|---|---|
| Enrollment window | Managed with paper or PDF forms | Managed as a tracked digital window with plan selection |
| ACA eligibility | Checked at hire only, not across appointments | Hours aggregated across appointments automatically |
| Qualifying life events | Submitted as ad hoc emails to HR | Submitted with a tracked deadline and documentation requirement |
| Approval | A manual HR sign-off with no audit trail | A routed approval with a documented record |
| Provider handoff | Re-entered into the carrier portal by hand | Sent without manual re-entry |
| Eligibility risk visibility | Invisible until a compliance question arises | Visible on a dashboard before it becomes one |
Connects to your HRIS and benefits carrier; Workday and your carrier portal stay the system of record
Kissflow does not replace Workday or your benefits carrier's enrollment system. It is the eligibility-check and approval layer that gets accurate data to both.

Live in weeks
HR configures enrollment windows and eligibility rules in the visual builder.

Get SupportNo. Your carrier's system stays the system of record for coverage. Kissflow manages the eligibility check, approval, and clean handoff of enrollment and change data to it.
The app totals measured hours across an employee's appointments, for example two part-time teaching assignments in different departments, so eligibility reflects the combined load, not just one appointment.
A marriage, birth or adoption, dependent loss of other coverage, or another IRS-recognized event, each configured with its own required documentation and enrollment window.
The app tracks the applicable deadline, commonly 30 or 60 days depending on plan rules, and flags a request approaching its window.
Yes. Enrollment periods, plan options, and eligibility rules are configured in the visual builder.
Access is role-based and restricted to HR and benefits administration staff with a legitimate need to review the record.
Yes. Both run through the same eligibility check and approval steps, with the qualifying life event path enforcing its own shorter deadline.
Yes. Kissflow is certified to SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, and ISO/IEC 27001, with role-based access to benefits and eligibility records.
