An employee is undergoing a dissolution of domestic partnership (divorce) and requests that their ex-spouse...

The correct answer is A because Workday benefits administration requires the administrator to first address the benefit elections tied to the dependent before removing the related person from active use. When a domestic partnership or marriage ends, the correct process is to run the appropriate life event so the system can properly terminate the dependent’s benefit coverage, update eligibility, and maintain an accurate audit trail of the enrollment changes. After the benefit event removes the dependent from all applicable elections, the administrator can then inactivate the dependent through related actions on the dependent record.

Option B is incorrect because deleting a dependent from the system is not the proper approach and would not preserve history appropriately. Option C is also incorrect because deleting the dependent profile does not represent the standard Workday process for handling dependent removal from benefits. Option D is incomplete because simply inactivating the dependent profile does not correctly process the benefits event or ensure elections are ended through the proper event-driven mechanism. Workday relies on the life event first, followed by dependent inactivation.
