BENEFIT ELECTIONS#

The Process Benefit Elections (IBEL) screen allow users to elect multiple coverages for an employee on one form.

Note that the IBEL screen presents "transitional" data that is only valid while you are in this screen. The actual processing of these records is as follows:

  1. When you enter IBEL, any ELECTION records present are deleted
  2. Based on the SCHEDULE defined in IBSC for that employee (or unit, group, etc.), ELECTION records are then created with a status of "Not yet Elected"
  3. The ENROLLMENT records from IBEN are then processed, as of the date that you are running. Any ELECTION records that are for a plan that there is an IBEN record existant are updated to reflect the correct status ("Enrolled", "Declined" etc.)
  4. Any ENROLMENT records that do not have a matching ELECTION record are then added to the set of ELECTION records. If the plan has a flag to indicate that the plan MUST be on a schedule, then the record is marked as "Pending Removal"
If there is a component that must be manually entered at the time the employee elects the coverage then the component should have a BC action of ‘Store on Enroll’ or ‘Store on Line & Enroll’ and have the ‘Allow Value Override’ toggle ON.

This ensures that the component will be provided for input in the Process Benefit Elections (IBEL) form. All other components may have the ‘Allow Value Override’ OFF, but still have a BC action of ‘Store on Enroll’ or ‘Store on Line & Enroll’.

Process Benefit Elections data is stored on the P2K_BE_ENROLLMENTS, P2K_BE_ENROLLMENT_DETAILS and P2K_BE_ENROLLMENT_COMPONENTS tables.
