Components for Coverage Step (B0500-B0599)#
The following group of benefit components allows access to the Coverage Rates form.
Coverage rate steps may be used to store one or more steps that contain the rates for premiums, employer contributions, employee deductions, etc. These rates may be stepped manually or automatically, according to the rules chosen and the limits defined on the coverage rate form.
Benefit Component B0580 should not be used alone, it needs to be paired with at least one other Benefit Component, B0500, to tell the system which rate step to use (in case the plan has more than one rate steps). In the case where there is always only one rate step, one option is to use Benefit Component B0500 with Rule 02 and specify the value of the 'rate step' (such as '1', '01', etc.) in the ‘Value’ field for Component B0500. Another alternate method is to write a simple UserCalc to always return the rate step value (such as '1', '01', etc.), then add Benefit Component B0500 Rule ‘00’ to this plan and attach the UserCalc to this component.Does this plan use coverage rate steps?#
