__Benefit Remittances__ may be reported using the Benefits Administration module; however, in order to run the remittance reports the Remittance Update ([UBRH]) must be run to collect all of the benefit line information and send it to the remittance history tables.\\
\\
[UBRH] can be run after all the pays have been closed for the remit period in question or it can
be run at the beginning of the remit period before any pays have been processed to show the
benefit amounts indicated in the coverage. The business needs of each client or each carrier
will determine how [UBRH] will be run.\\
\\
The benefit remittance update gathers all of the benefit lines that have a ‘Benefit Line Status’ of
‘Updated to Enroll’ but not ‘Updated to Remit’ for the calendar period being requested. All benefit lines picked up will have their status changed to ‘Updated to Remit’, and will not be picked up again.\\
\\
The Update Benefit Remittance process [UBRH] uses the 'Last Remit Date' on the plan to ensure that it is not rerunning for a period already processed and to ensure that no periods have been skipped. During testing ensure that the 'Last Remit Date' is for the period before the one selected in the report parameter.\\
\\
Remittance History , seen in the [IBRH] form, tracks the number of participants on each coverage step by remittance period. It also allows adjustments to be done after the remittance update has been done but before the  remittance reports have been run. \\
\\
The [IBRH] form is populated with data from the benefit lines when the Update Benefit Remittance process is run in update mode or directly created if the Update Benefit Remittance is processed without payroll.\\
\\
Prior to running the remittance reports adjustments may be made to individual [components|BENEFIT COMPONENTS]. \\
\\
A summary report may be run for each remittance through the Report Benefit Remittances ([RBRE]) screen. \\
\\
A detail report may be run for each remittance through the Remittance Details Report ([RBRD]) screen.
