Components for Preprocess/Qualification (B0005 - B0299)#

The following group of benefit components is available for either preprocessing or qualification of employees.

The most commonly used preprocessing components are the definition of the period of time an employee is qualified to participate in the plan (Effective/Expire, Eligibility Start/End and Premium Start/End dates). Users are also given the ability to define any other preprocessing necessary for the Plan, or to define a qualification for employees through the use of a usercalc.

Preprocessing/qualifications may be used to completely skip an employee from being evaluated for a plan in which they are enrolled.

B0005	Flexible Plan UserCalc {mandatory for Flex Plans}
B0010	Preprocess/Qualify UserCalc {optional}
B0020	Enrollment Base Date
B0030	Enrollment Effective Date Rule
B0040	Hiring Qualification {optional}
B0050	Qualifying Period {optional}
B0060	Roll Forward/Back Rule {optional}
B0070	Effective Date
B0080	Eligibility Base Date
B0090	Eligibility Date Rule
B0100	Hiring Qualification {optional}
B0110	Qualifying Period {optional}
B0120	Roll Forward/Back Rule {optional}
B0130	Eligible Date
B0140	Premium Start Date
B0150	Expire Base Date
B0160	Expire Date Rule
B0170	Termination Qualification {optional}
B0180	Continuation Period {optional}
B0190	Roll Forward/Back Rule {optional}
B0200	Expire Date
B0210	Eligibility End Base Date
B0220	Eligibility End Date Rule
B0230	Termination Qualification {optional}
B0240	Continuation Period
B0250	Roll Forward/Back Rule {optional}
B0260	Eligibility End Date
B0270	Premium End Date

1. Premium Start date will not work if it is an earlier date than the Plan Effective date.
   
   The effective date of the IBEN record controls the benefit. If the plan is not yet effective, there is no point in trying to take a premium – the plan will be skipped by UPCALC.
   
   Same thing applies for expiration date and premium end. There is no point in making the premium stop AFTER the expiration date of the record. If the employee is not in the plan, they will not have their premium amount calculated.
   
   
2. BC action should be ‘Calculate’
   The BC action for any date component (B0020 – B0270) does not need to be anything but ‘calculate’. The dates are already on the IBEL/IBEN as separate fields.
   
   
3. ‘Allow Value Override’ is only necessary on ‘final date’ values B0070, B0130, B0140 are final storage BC’s for Effective, Eligible, Premium Start dates.
   
   B0200, B0260, B0270 are final storage BC’s for Expiration, Eligible Expiry, Premium End dates
   
   These components are the only ones that the user would override. Toggle should not be on for ‘interim’ date values.
   
   
4. If plan expires at termination date, a full deduction is taken in final pay. If ‘Termination Date’ is used as the expiration date of plan, employee will be considered ‘in the plan’ by the system for their terminating pay. Example
   
   Pay Period Start = Jan 1, Pay Period End = Jan 15, Termination Date = Jan 3
   
   If rule is ‘use termination date’, the system will expire the benefit record as of Jan 3. Benefit plans are always updated using the pay period end date as the processing date, unless the termination date falls within the pay period. There is no automatic pro-ration of benefit amounts.
