;[Plan Type|PLAN_TYPE_CODE]:This field holds the defined plan type code that uniquely identify the plan type. The Plan Type will be displayed in the [WEBOEE] form so it should be reflective of the plans within the type.
;[Sequence|CALCULATION_SEQUENCE]:The Calculation Sequence field determines the order in which this plan type will be processed by payroll. This sequence is also used by the BSS module to determine the order the plan types are displayed to the employee in the election form ([WEBOEE]). If a sequence is not defined, the plan types will display in alphabetical order. Calculation_Sequence is a 5-digit numeric field provided but may be user altered.

The site preference [BSS EVIDENCE REQ(System_Preference)] may be defined with a value of Y to force an employee to provide Evidence/Documentation during the Open Enrollment before they can submit their elections. If this is defined with a Y a validation message will be displayed to the employee. If a value of N is provided, the employee will still be prompted to submit evidence however they will still able to submit their elections if no evidence is uploaded.

;[Open Enroll Allowed |OPEN_ENROLLMENT_ALLOWED]:If the benefit plan is to be included in the Open Enrollment process then the Open Enroll Allowed field must be populated with either ‘Always Open’ or ‘OE Periods Only’. Always Open will ensure that the benefit plan is always open to employees to elect into. OE Periods Only ensures that the benefit plan is only open during the OE Period. If the benefit plan is never to be used by the Open Enrollment process then select ‘Never Open’. This field is tied to the lexicon [X_BE_OE_ALLOWED].
;[Approval Required|APPROVAL_REQUIRED]:Approval logic can be enabled at the plan level. Clients can choose No Approval Required, Approval Required (Approval is required for Open Enrollments with new elections, existing elections with changes and declined elections.), or Apr Req for Chgs Only (Approval is only required for changes made to elections). This field is tied to the lexicon [X_BE_APPROVAL].
;[Open Enroll Allowed |OPEN_ENROLLMENT_ALLOWED]:If the benefit plan is to be included in the Open Enrollment process then the Open Enroll Allowed field must be populated with either ‘Always Open’ or ‘OE Periods Only’. 'Always Open' will ensure that the benefit plan is always open to employees to elect into. 'OE Periods Only' ensures that the benefit plan is only open during the OE Period. If the benefit plan is never to be used by the Open Enrollment process then select ‘Never Open’. This field is tied to the lexicon [X_BE_OE_ALLOWED].
;[Approval Required|APPROVAL_REQUIRED]:Approval logic is required for Open Enrollments and can be enabled at the plan level. All employee Open Enrollments must be first approved before they can be processed into enrollments in [IBEN]. The approval is made at the employee Open Enrollment level, not at a benefit election level meaning that the Administrator will not be approving each election change but the employee’s overall participation in the Open Enrollment.\\ \\However, should there be the need to have the approval process be different for certain plans within the Open Enrollment, the Administrator can tailor the approval process using where clauses that take this field into account. For example, the client may decide that a specific plan requires approval for changes only.\\ \\This field is also taken into account by [IBEL] when elections are made outside of the Open Enrollment process.\\ \\Clients can choose:\\No Approval Required - This is used in [IBEL] to indicate an election into the plan does not need approval.\\Approval Required – Approval is required for Open Enrollments with new elections, existing elections with changes and declined election\\Apr Req for Chgs Only – Approval is only required for changes made to elections.\\ \\If no plans in the employee’s open enrollment require approval, then no specific approval process will be called. However, since the enrollment must still be approved in order for it to be processed, a generic approval process will display.

;[Grandfathered|GRANDFATHERED]:This will indicate if the benefit plan has been ‘grandfathered’. This field is currently only supported in Open Enrollments, it is not currently respected in [IBEL]. For Open Enrollments, this will restrict new employees from being elected into the plan. Any grandfathered plans will not be included in the Open Enrollment process.
;[Grandfathered|GRANDFATHERED]:This will indicate if the benefit plan has been ‘grandfathered’. This field is currently only supported in Open Enrollments, it is not currently respected in [IBEL]. Employees who are currently enrolled in a grandfathered plan will have the ability to change coverage within the plan, as long as the plan is set up for Open Enrollment. Employees not enrolled in a grandfathered plan will not see the plan in their election options.
;[Do Not Split Enrollment When No Change| ]:When toggled, this indicates to [UBPOE] to not create an effective record in [IBEN] when the employee does not make any changes to their enrollment of the plan/coverage. If an employee makes a change or if there are rate changes, the system will create a new effective record.\\ \\If an employee only makes a change to their elected recipients, regardless of this toggle being toggled on or off, the system will not create a new effective record in [IBEN]. This is due to the Recipient table (BBR) not being configured in the database to support date effective changes.

;[Recipient Type|RECIPIENT_TYPE]:This field determines the recipient eligible for the coverage. This field is used for Open Enrollments. Recipient_Type is a fixed lexicon ([X_PLAN_RECIPIENT_TYPE]). If the coverage is only available to the employee, ‘Not Applicable’ must be selected. The type of recipient defined at the coverage will filter the list of benefit recipients available to the employee for that plan during the election period. The filtration is done by comparing the recipient type lexicon values to the stored values of the [relation lexicon|X_RELATION] in [IECT]. The system will check for a recipient type at the coverage first, if none are found it will then check the plan type to see if one has been defined at that level. If the system cannot locate a recipient type for either the coverage or plan type, all of the employee’s contacts defined in [IECT] will be listed for the employee to elect. The page [Benefit Recipient Matrix for Open Enrollment|BENEFIT RECIPIENT MATRIX FOR OPEN ENROLLMENT] shows which relation values fall under each of the recipient types.

;[Max. Disabled Age|MAXIMUM_DISABLED_AGE]:If the coverage is open to dependents and there is an age restriction in place for disabled members, this field is used to store the maximum age allowed for disabled members. If there is no age restriction, 999 may be entered as the age. The election process will verify the recipient’s age based on their birth date defined in [IECT]. The disabled recipient must have the Disabled Indicator toggled ON in [IECT].

;[Estimated Costs|ESTIMATED_COSTS]:If the EE and ER costs are based on estimated earnings the Estimated Costs toggle should be checked ON. With this ON there will be a notation displayed for the coverage’s cost in [WEBOEE].

\\Coverage Details
;[Description|DESCRIPTION]:The description of the coverage is displayed in the [WEBOEE]. Ensure the description is descriptive of the coverage and is not too long.
;[OE Questions| ]:This field allows the Benefit Administrator to select an assessment from [IBAS]. Assessments may now be linked to a coverage allowing questions to be asked and responded to during on Open Enrollment period. If an employee elects a coverage with an assessment, an assessment event will be scheduled automatically. If there are mandatory answers within the assessment the employee will not be able to submit until the mandatory questions have been answered.

;[OE Enter Elections|ENTER_ELECTION]: This is only used in BSS for Open Enrollments. This toggle must be checked if an employee must submit information before electing a coverage, such as a Deduction amount for a Flex Spending account. This will prompt the employee for the necessary information. Again, if the BC is not visible in [IBEN] then the BC will not be visible in [WEBOEE].

Its intent is to only allow employees elect a dollar amount of their choosing.\\The Allow Value Override toggle must also be checked in order for the BC to display in [WEBOEE].
;[Allow Value Override|ALLOW_VALUE_OVERRIDE|Allow Value Override]: In order for the Employee and Employer Costs to display in [WEBOEE] and [IBPOE], this toggle must be checked ON for [BC-B0840] and [BC-B1040].
