The formula to calculate the eligibility date is:
\[ E = S + W \]
Where:
Let's say the start date (S) is 2024-01-01 and the waiting period (W) is 30 days. The eligibility date would be calculated as follows:
\[ E = 2024-01-01 + 30 \text{ days} = 2024-01-31 \]
So, the eligibility date is 2024-01-31.
An eligibility date is the date on which an individual becomes eligible for a particular benefit, service, or status. This date is often determined based on a start date and a predefined waiting period. For example, in the context of employment, the eligibility date might be the date on which an employee becomes eligible for health insurance benefits after completing a certain number of days of employment. The eligibility date is crucial for ensuring that individuals meet the necessary criteria before receiving the benefits or services they are entitled to.
