Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) Overview
What's a QMCSO?
A QMCSO is designed to provide health coverage to a child(ren) of an employee through his or her employer's group health plan. The QMCSO process occurs through the court system.
A medical child support order becomes qualified as a QMCSO if it satisfies the employer's legal and administrative qualification requirements.
The Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA) and the employer's group health plan guide the employer's QMCSO process.
A 1993 amendment to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act (ERISA) requires employer-sponsored group health plans to extend health care coverage to the children of a parent/employee who is divorced, separated, or never married when ordered to do so by state authorities. This compliance assistance guide explains these ERISA provisions and describes how to obligate a plan to cover a child.
Generally, a State court or agency may require an ERISA-covered health plan to provide health benefits coverage to children by issuing a medical child support order. The group health plan must determine whether the medical child support order is “qualified.” Such an order is referred to as a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO). In addition, a State child support enforcement agency may obtain group health coverage for a child by issuing a National Medical Support Notice that the group health plan determines to be qualified.
Group health plan sponsors and administrators will find this information useful in understanding the rights and obligations of those involved in child support proceedings and those responsible for administering group health plans.(1)
The first section of this Compliance Assistance Guide … Qualified Medical Child Support Orders provides general questions and answers about Qualified Medical Child Support Orders. The second section answers questions about National Medical Support Notices and the role of State child support enforcement agencies in obtaining health care coverage on behalf of children. A final resource section lists additional resources that may provide useful information about ERISA and obtaining health care coverage and medical care for children.
SOME FAQ
Q1-1: What types of plans are subject to the qualified medical child support order (QMCSO) provisions?
The QMCSO provisions apply to “group health plans” subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended (ERISA). For this purpose a “group health plan” generally is a plan that:
Is sponsored by an employer or employee organization (or both) and provides “medical care” to employees, former employees or their families.
“Medical care” means amounts paid for the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of a disease; for the purpose of affecting any structure or function of the body; transportation primarily for or essential to such care or services; or for insurance covering such care or services.
ERISA does not apply to plans maintained by: Federal, State or local governments; churches; and employers solely for purposes of complying with applicable workers compensation or disability laws. However, provisions of the Child Support Performance and Incentive Act (CSPIA) of 1998 require church plans to comply with QMCSOs and National Medical Support Notices, and State and local government plans to comply with National Medical Support Notices.

Creates or recognizes the right of an “alternate recipient” to receive benefits for which a participant or beneficiary is eligible under a group health plan or assigns to an alternate recipient the right of a participant or beneficiary to receive benefits under a group health plan; and
Is recognized by the group health plan as “qualified” because it includes information and meets other requirements of the QMCSO provisions. (see Qs 1-6 and 1-7).
In addition, a properly completed National Medical Support Notice (see Section 2) must be treated as a QMCSO.
[ERISA § 609(a)(2), 609(a)(5)(C)]

The Iron Horses Motorcycle Club or IHMC, is a world-wide motorcycle club. They are much, much smaller then HAMC but are still a formidiable group. Like the Hells Angels MC members nickname themselves "one-percenters", Iron Horse Full-Patch members wear a 1% patch often found on the left handside of the Waistcoat.
History
IHMC was formed in 1966 by American GI's, from Fürth. German members started to join in 1971. They held big parties and rallies in Germany in the following years and built up an interest. Among the rallies was the famous HOG-Rallies.
In 1974 the Nuremberg Chapter decided to organize the first German Presidents-Rally, which was held by the Lawmen MC in Frankfurt. At the beginning of the eighties, the first Chapters developed in Den Haag and Mons. Since, Iron Horses have spread from Italy to Norway and from Hungary to Wales.
The Iron Horses have followed a very strict code of secrecy amongst themselves to everyone but themselves and other MCs within the Biking Pow-Wow.
Insignia
The Iron Horses utilize a patch system, similar to a military medal. The official colors of the Iron Horses are yellow lettering displayed on a black background. These patches are worn on leather or denim jackets and vests, called 'cutdowns', so called due to the removal or 'cutting' of the collars and cuffs from the clothing item.
Also, the patch, a rhombus shaped patch is used. It is labelled with '1%' and it displays a yellow background with black letters. The patch, and subsequent term, was in response to the American Motorcyclist Association (AMA) comment on the Hollister incident and their statement that 99% of motorcyclists were law-abiding citizens, and the last one percent were outlaws.
When applicable, members of the club wear a patch denoting their position / rank within the organization. The patch is rectangular, and, similarly to the patches described above, displays a yellow background with black letters and a black merrowed border. Some examples of the titles used are President, Vice President, Prospect and Supporter. This patch is usually worn below the 'club location' patch.
Membership
Hieracy:
4 - Hang-around (Support Patch)
3 - Supporter (Supporter Patches) (See Pic)
2 - Prospect (Backpatch)
1 - Full Member (Full Backpatch)
Iron Horses have a similar way of letting members join as most clubs do. Iron Horse members must be men over 21 years, however exceptions can be made if a Juinor Hang-Around has been coming to the club and its events since VERY young, or if they are the son of a member. If made a member under the age of 21, the Juinor Hang-Around is made into a Junior Supporter. There is no patch to show the difference between an older and younger supporter. Also, members are NOT required to own a Harley Davidson motorcycle. Individuals, after a lengthy, phased process, are first deemed to be a 'Hang-around', wherein an individual is invited to some club events or meets club members at known gathering places.
If the Supporter is interested, they may be asked to become a member, being called a 'Prospect', participating in some club activities, but not having voting privileges, while they are evaluated for suitability as full members. The last phase, and highest membership status, is 'Full Membership' or Full-Patch'.
A Prospect no longer wears a supporter patch and instead awarded a back-patch with the words Prospect. A Full-Patched member has a similar patch as the Prospect but has Iron Horses written on instead.
To become a full member, the Prospect must be voted on by the rest of the full club members. Prior to votes being cast, a Prospect usually travels to every chapter and introduces himself to every Full-Patch. This allows each voting member to become familiar with the subject, and ask any questions of concern prior to the vote. A Supporter needs the vote of all the Full-Patch members to become a Prospect. Some form of formal induction follows, where-in the Prospect affirms his loyalty to the club and its members. The step of attaining full membership can be referred to as "being patched".

Siebel EIM is the tool provided by Siebel for bi-directional data migration purposes. With this, data from external system can be migrated in to the Siebel database and data can be exported from Siebel into external systems.
With Eim we can perform the following activities 1.Import data 2. Export data 3.Merge data 4.Delete data.
Siebel Enterprise Integration Manager (EIM) is a server component in the Siebel EAI component group which manages the bidirectional exchange of data between the Siebel database and other corporate data sources. This exchange of information is accomplished through intermediary tables called EIM tables. (In earlier releases, EIM tables were known as interface tables.) The EIM tables act as a staging area between the Siebel application database and other data sources.
EIM is your primary method of loading mass quantities of data into the Siebel database. You should use EIM to perform bulk imports, updates, merges, and deletes of data.
EIM reads a configuration file that specifies the EIM process to perform (import, update, merge, delete, or export) using the appropriate parameters. The EIM configuration file is an ASCII text file of extension type .IFB.
